Why do Philadelphians call it a ‘hoagie?’ Does anyone else? It’s complicated. (www.inquirer.com)

It’s a wedge in NY, but it’s still acceptable to call a Philly cheesesteak a hoagie.

Boston grinders can fuck right off.

Edit: Just noticed this is the Philadelphia community. Just want you all to know I’m aware that cheesesteaks outside of Philly aren’t the real deal. I’ve been there, had a few, and they’re fucking untouchable. Respect.
