I can never make homemade cheesesteak sandwich taste as good as the ones from the sandwich shops. Is the secret really the steaks and the Cheez Whiz?

I bet there is also something to how they chop the lettuce and cook the onions. I have a Big Mac burger recipe I make, and the secret to making it taste right is to slice the lettuce thinly across the leaves so you get 1/4 wide ribbons of lettuce. The same for the onions, very thin ribbons. A commercial meat slicer would be great for doing this. Wish I had one, but could never justify it.
