The creeping tendency towards donut sandwich abominations

It's clever marketing and, like much clever marketing, it plays to the stupidity of the average consumer.
Now I understand what my Grandson meant when he blamed Cheeseburger Germs for my 2004 quad infarct (methinks...).
Gaaaa..., aaack@!
Will someone at least please tell me those are bagels...
Confound me, I did have to try a Juicy Lucy...

Lived in Philadelphia 4 years an e neither Ginos nor Franks had this type of cheese steak
In those four years did you not figure out that the tourist traps were not the places at which to eat? This load o' crap, by the way, is the nightmare creation of trendoid spot PYT, in a part of Philly where trustafarians come to fake poverty together.
These menu creations are not the creations of great chefs, but of You Tube favorites, 'Epic Meal Time' et al. They cater to the lowly incomes or upper incomes of millennials with too much tme or money on their hands. These are the ones who have spent far too much time with their faces buried in a small smart phone screen to realize or even care about real food.
I have watched in arrogance, and curiosity as my sons viewed such things on the internet, but now find myself strangely attracted to such creations.
The idea of taking a good donut, cutting it in half, and creating some tasty, meaty, bacon filled, cheesy goodness. Really, what's not to like when the concept is taken a few notches north and actually done some sort of justice with good ingredient?
The sweet of the donut, saltiness of bacon or good ripened cheese, some sort of other meat with it's savory counterpunch to it all, and it just kinda clouds the vision as drool slowly falls from the lips

*BURP* gross. That looks, well, just awful.
Also, I just have to add Bradu, just because someone is larger doesn't mean that they'll eat anything. Some people unfortunately have a gutter pallet, and they wouldn't know good food if it, quite literally, hit them in the face.

How dare they!! Is it a sin to alter the almighty Philly Cheese Steak Hoagie?? What's the big deal? It's not like the original was a healthy meal any way. It will pass the same way Marilyn Manson did. If you ignore it, It will go away. Maybe you should try one before you talk bad about it. I am not a fan of brussel sprouts or lima beans. But I did try them before coming to that conclusion. I figure at least the lards that make this a regular will have to walk to the bus stop and go downtown to get one. So they are getting some exercise and keeping someone employed. They could be going to the fridge and grabbing a half gallon of chocolate fudge and a spoon chasing it with a coke and some chips.
I wouldnt flush that thing down my toilet let alone eat it. On second thought maybe with an Wal Mart Ice Cream Sandwich that wont melt in the sun.....you could make a fortune til all your customers died of gastric infections.
1. If you have to add "Philly" to the word cheesesteak (and properly, it's one word, not two) it's an immediately suspect creation. A cheesesteak is a cheesesteak is a cheesesteak. You won't convince anyone of its quality or authenticity by sticking the "Philly" label on it.
2. Cheesesteak hoagies, while they appeal to some, tend to be an amplification of the original to hide the fact that the base model as made where you are, being thinly sliced, slightly marbled rib steak, one of three acceptable cheeses (provolone, whiz, or American), crusty bread from Sarcone's or Amoroso's if you're in the Philly area, with the possible addition of grilled onions, just isn't very damned good. A good cheesesteak doesn't need to be topped off with bunny food. Cheesesteak hoagies are a punt. Cheesesteaks are running the damned ball on 4th and an inch. Anything other than grilled onions on a cheesesteak is a liberty. Pizza cheesesteaks?
3. If you wanna be adventurous, go ahead. Chop up a handful of Krispy Kremes and toss them into your biscuits n' gravy and tell me how that works for you. Go head, enjoy.
Know'd I'd be skooled. Don't mess wit da cheesesteak or dem Igles fir the rath of all Philly will be onya. Translated.. I knew someone would tell how sacred the sandwich/ hoagie is and would give the complete run down of it. I found when I was in Philadelphia that the cheesesteak and the Eagles are two things that will easily start a fight. I prefer Cheese Whiz on mine. I have found the further I am from SE PA the sandwich looses it's flavor. Like a hot dog. They just taste better at the ball park.
I'm sitting here a few blocks from PYT right now. Have eaten there twice. Burgers are way overrated and the rest sucks. No thank you.
Gotta second the above. This has to be a creation of the hipster idiots, all that "trending" nonsense makes me want to throw up. Its like a contest to see who is gonna be the first to start a trend.
VeerG, Primantis Samwiches are no joke. They can take you from "piss yourself drunk" to "church sober" in about 10min. Sometimes its the only reason I make it home alive.
Maybe I will call Primantis and see if they can hook me up with a Pastrami on Donut
