I mean, it'd be a real challenge. But some sort of savory cheesecake, with a savory crust, topped with cheese steak fillings and I could see it being... okay-ish. I don't think it would gain mainstream appeal, but I could see it being some sort of local delicacy that all the locals say is delicious but also a acquired taste.
My thought is some sort of rosemary heavy crust with whole wheat bread crumbs instead of graham crackers, a garlic and onion flavored (and sugar free) cheese cake and then standard Philly cheese steak filling for the topping. Add in a dollop of cheese wiz on the top and some sort of balsamic/worcestershire reduction drizzled onto the top.
We could call it the Trenton Makes. Or name it after the Raritan. Or call it the Chris Christie Calorie Bomb Special. Or we could call it The Great Adventure. Or call it something like The 6 and 7 (growing up in Trenton, you get both NYC and Philly channels on TV - for example, Philly 6ABC was on 6 and NYC's ABC was on 7).
I try very hard every day to avoid making a savory salmon and dill cheesecake. When my resolve fails, I like to top it with some capers or pickled red onions.
So, will native Philidephians be more upset that someone put cheese steak on a cheesecake, or that you called it a 'Philly' when it is adulterated with peppers and missing one of the two acceptable [traditional] cheeses (American [Provolone] or whizz)? Place your bets and hopefully a real Philadelphian can let us know which is more upsetting. I'm betting on the latter, but not heavily.
Philadelphian here. Sharp provolone is preferred. Nevertheless, I'd try it. Although cream cheese separates when you heat it so this would have to be eaten cold. It's probably not bad, but I'm not sure about the chocolate on bottom.
Yeah, I think I misremebered that one. It's been some years since I heard my coworker at the time rant about how cheesesteaks made other ways might taste good, but they're not Philly cheesesteaks anymore and please stop calling them that.
I'm not native, but have lived in Philly. The bell peppers bother me. Wiz, American, provolone, or Swiss all are pretty common in my experience. As is no cheese at all, which this appears to be. But then it's not a cheesesteak, it's a steak.
i hope this is AI and no real steak or cheesecake got harmed with this crime
Don’t worry, it is.
You dissapoint me. I love this, would try it
I know what instance this is but it still shouldn’t be okay for you to post this.
I’d eat that
I wouldn't ever order it off of a menu, but if it was served at a party, I would absolutely try a small slice.
It looks too well made, and very tasty
Makes me wonder if this could be made in an actually good way. A savory not sweet cheese wiz cheesecake recipe or something?
Looks delicious 😋
Is there a community of food memes like these? I freaking love em and I want moar
Food Crimes, maybe?
They do make a mean clam chowder
You are evil lol
That... could work?

I've had a salmon cheesecake. Might have more appeal to those who like cream cheese and lox on a bagel.
I'm thinking way to hard of a way to make this work... Some type of rye for the crust? Drizzled with A-1 or Heinz 57?
Why is my brain trying to make this abomination feasible!?

He's not a New Jerseyan. He's from Staten Island. They're all fucking bennies.
Signed - New Jerseyans who hate our state being associated with those people.

I stink at naming things.
what's not to like. Philly cheesteak good. cheese cake good.
let's get our eating pants on and Rachel up this Joey.
It looks so wrong, but probably tastes so right. Sweet and savory.
The real crime here is the crust.
The real crime is the peppers - you'd get assaulted if you ordered those here in Philly.
To be fair, a lot of things can get you assaulted in Philly.
It's funny how many times I've had guys threaten to rip my fucken eyeballs out, specifically. That must be why we have a famous eye institute here.
What? Pat's has a guy grilling peppers right on the patio.
Lol you get assaulted just for going to Pat's.
OP sharing pics from his wedding day, what else was on the menu?
Well, for the vegetarians we had Mac’n Cheesecake…

I’ve always thought a blue cheese cheesecake could be tasty

I also failed.

I wonder if mixing a little American cheese into the cake could prevent it from separating long enough to serve and eat a slice
Just add some Sodium Citrate to keep it from separating.
I'm not from Philadelphia, but I though the two acceptable cheeses were cheese whiz and provolone.

I don't understand,) what's wrong with that? It looks tasty AF.
I would definitely stuff my face with this rest of y'all are just prudes
Congrats, you just reinvented meat pie.
"It tastes like feet!"
Philly cheeseseak Philadelphia cheesecake
With Philadelphia cream cheese
Despite me not eating meat, I can see this being tasty -- as long as the bottom of the cake is not chocolate and the quark is not very sweet
What if it is though
Sickos are all like
Haha yes!
I think of something interesting. The sides of pizza are called handles.
不要
Unnecessary? 😂
不要，不想要，不需要……
为什么
因为不好吃的
你试过吗
那么说实话我还没试过了，但看起来味道真的奇怪，你知道了吗
你更喜欢用炒饭来做吗？
嗯知道了看来你抱有成见去中国人，你在Lemmy里要一直秘密，所以说的中文，聪明啦，人人总偷听……这里的地方没有好心的人。你小心的！
你是说中国人不喜欢炒饭？
I'm a fan of both. But this likely tastes like an abomination.
Like pumpkin cheesecake. Blech.
Looks really cool! You could even recreate say: Crust( seasoned) Cheese layer Mashed potatoes/Sweet corn A1 steak sauce
Though, I'm vegan, gluten free, & non-GMO.
Cheers
Here you go, bud
Oh cool!! Was this AI or is this real
It’s AI
America...
