That was discussed. The traditionalists were not amused. Even provolone was looked down upon by the whiz crowd.
Everyone is good natured though, being a mixed nationality group of smart alecks.

Wow! That burger sounds like …a thing that definitely happened.
I’d rather American than whiz, if we’re going with cheese food product, although I am aware of its loyal following for this sandwich. And I want grilled peppers, mushrooms, and onions. That those were missing seemed almost a bigger crime to me on that burger. But, as a Bostonian, I have no dog in this fight.

South Philly Barbacoa may have been the inspiration.
Cristina Martinez was featured on Chefs Table / Netflix (also has a James Beard award).

Also, I just noticed the hash brown on there, which confirms my assessment of simply just throwing a lot of ish on a burger & giving it a random US city’s name. Surprised there’s no mac & cheese on it, too.

I agree. In the instagram age, everyone and everything has to have a schtick and a stance. True regionalism seems to have been replaced by a Disney/Food Network
idealized version, at least as depicted in the media.
Things are always changing even though reporting on them lags behind.
