If you like wiz, then get that, but if we’re talking about traditional cheesesteaks, the default in Philly is American. Most shops also have wiz and provolone. Lots of shops do a pizza steak, which has mozzarella and pizza sauce, and most places do a special steak, too, which has peppers, onions, mozzarella, and pizza sauce.
In conclusion, don’t hate on somebody else’s preferences, hate on people being assholes about it.
Straight up just wrong. Wiz and white American get so melty it’s more of a sauce than a solid, and effectively coats the contents of the sammich. Had a proper one in Philly while traveling and never looked back. Took years for a joint to move in to town that hits that same way. They even get daily bread shipments from East Coast to be muy authentico.
I’ve had it with the provi/moz, and it’s easily an interior product to wiz biz imho. Real ones know what’s up. All my dudes have become converts.
When you order a dozen (or more) donuts it’s absolutely normal to be asked if an assortment is ok, or if you’d like to choose. Unless you have specific restrictions or preferences, the assortment is the way to go - even then, if you see coconut go in, you just say, “oh no coconut please”. You’ll get the most popular kinds and maybe some that haven’t been selling well that they need to get rid of. Also, you don’t waste the time of everyone in the shop with “uh, 3 of these, 4 of those, wait, 4 of these and um um what’s that one? no thanks”. But the important part is you left the choices up to the baker to make a sensible choice.
So “whatever makes sense” is probably the best option and not even an odd way to say it.
It’s certainly not “dismissive”, if anything it’s respectful of their knowledge and ability to put together a nice selection. I realize we’re just talking about donuts here but if you’re working with donuts every day even as a minimum wage employee, you know more about donuts than most people. And hey, if you’re a donut connoisseur just tell them “I’ll pick” and rattle them all off. They’ll appreciate that too.
For some reason that video didn’t load, so I searched for “jd vance georgia donut shop” and found this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2QhtLzz2BM – which filled me in.
Though, I’m still confused where the context is coming from that there was a video to watch. FinalRemix@lemmy.world’s comment was the first I’d heard of any of these food-related campaign events, and it implied (based on the context of the post) that Walz was the “awkward” one somehow.
Though at this point I’m even more confused by FinalRemix@lemmy.world bringing those things up in the context of the original post which is about NYT fact checking bias.
Overall this whole thread has been a shitshow for me and another lesson to not comment on the internet before I’ve had coffee.
Anyway, thanks for the link which pushed me to dig a little deeper and understand a little better
This attack on his “whatever makes sense” is the equivalent of the “dijon on a hamburger!” uproar. Vance has got plenty of weird shit that actually matters, let’s not try to out stupid Republicans here.
Well, for one, you can see how long I’ve been in the thread since there are timestamps on everything
Second, “so much work here” is really just me talking about how its fine to order donuts as “whatever” or letting the baker/employee pick. Cuz I like donuts, and I like letting them choose for me.
Third, after watching the video linked by someone else, and seeing how you called me “weird” I understand now that I could be misconstrued as defending JD Vance, which I absolutely am not and would never do. The way that FinalRemix@lemmy.world described it, I thought both instances were things that Walz did and was being attacked for in a very stupid way (as someone else said, “like attacking dijon mustard” re:Obama) – this is my first time hearing about these silly food related things so I was missing a lot of context which apparently everyone else already has.
After seeing that video, re-reading some of the comments here (and reading the newer ones) I’m not even sure why the commenter I responded to was talking about Vance without saying his name in the first place. I jumped to a conclusion based on the available context in the thread at the time (which all points Walz) and that was incorrect.
Lastly, as you can see I can be a bit long-winded when I have something more meaningful to say than a joke, quip or question. So “doing so much work” is relative 😉 – But, I also understand where you were coming from now with the assumption that I am going above and beyond to defend Vance’s conversation - which, as someone else said, went off the rails as soon as video consent was not granted. And I want to reiterate, fuck that fucking couchfucker.

I can’t read. I was thinking of Vance.
Look, I saw an "A and my brain just whatever’d.
To be fair, the guy is a black hole of charm. He’s casually off-putting.
When ordering donuts don’t dismissively just order “whatever makes sense”.
When ordering cheesesteak, don’t go to Pat’s or Geno’s. Both are shit, and never give the place guff for not having Swiss.
The guy just does casual interactions wrong. Like some kind of weirdo.
You’re thinking of Vance, not Walz.
Walz is everyone’s best friend’s dad who’s more fun to hang out with than your own dad.
Maybe that’s the new tactic. Vance does dumb shit, they blame it on Walz.
No tactic. I can’t read and am bad with names.
Maybe you’re just tired or distracted. Don’t be too hard on yourself.
I do that kind of “dumb 360° mistakes” all the time, especially when I’m underslept. (See? I just made another one! I should have said 180!)
I CANNOT READ.
Holy shit. Thanks.
What kind of fucking psycho wants swiss on their cheesesteak?
If the shop offers it, it’s fair game. I usually get American, but I’ve had some odd ones on a whim. Swiss would be good with some mushrooms.
Wiz or bust on traditional Philly. Although white American can slap as well, especially on variations. Provolone is not your friend.

Well that’s where you’re wrong bucko.
Wizz is garbage, as is American, it’s provi or mozz, preferably a blend of the two

I’m betting Amoroso rolls
Like someone else said, probably Amoroso. That’s what you get at Wawa for a Hoagie. For a steak you want Conshohocken Bakery.
Next you’ll say they’re better without onions…
Hold the line sibling. ✊🏻
Vance, whose name I misread in the OP because I wasn’t fully awake.
Vance is a goddamned psycho.

Did you see the video?
That’s a totally different guy
That’s not Walz
No, did someone say there was a video? I haven’t even heard about this aWkwArD interaction except for what the other poster said.
I’m just saying it’s normal, maybe even good, to say “whatever” to a donut shop person when ordering.
Yeah, “whatever is good” or “assortment” is normal, but watch this.
https://www.c-span.org/video/?537948-1/jd-vance-visits-donut-shop-georgia
Warning, it starts quiet and gets loud. Just audio levels.
For some reason that video didn’t load, so I searched for “jd vance georgia donut shop” and found this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2QhtLzz2BM – which filled me in.

Nah, it’s Vance. I misread the original post in my bleary-eyed half asleep idiocy.
We are all bleary half-asleep idiots on this day
Yikes, you’re doing so much work here, bud… This is weird.
But anyways, how long have you been in this thread?
This attack on his “whatever makes sense” is the equivalent of the “dijon on a hamburger!” uproar. Vance has got plenty of weird shit that actually matters, let’s not try to out stupid Republicans here.
Right. The bad part of that encounter was the worker saying she didn’t want to be in the video, and they did it anyway.
Consent is an issue with these guys.
Nah, his weirdly dismissive attitude toward everyone there was simply capped by his “whatever makes sense”.
You just knew the whole order was getting thrown out after the photo op.
