      I have not had the Torta, but I’ve eaten the other two and they weren’t soaked in soup. I also like a good french dip, but there you dip the bread a little at a time.

      …require knife & fork.

      Sort of
      Depending on the company and setting, perhaps. But they can still be eaten with hands, provided there’s a napkin and preferably a little water around, afterwards.

      As someone who grew up in Philly, we have a local/regional sandwich that’s a whole lot messier than that Chicago one. I think once or twice in my life did I see someone eating it with a knife and fork, and I suspect they were from out of town.

        What regional Philly sandwich? I’ve only had cheesesteak, pork & greens, and some scrapple breakfast thing. Not a fan of scrapple

          Cheesesteak, bingo. A greasy, unhealthy steak sandwich with lots of cheese… or cheese-product, haha.

          Never heard of pork & greens being a Philly thing, especially. Scrapple’s pretty good when made right, sort of like smashed “homefry” potatoes, but the ingredients are kinda nasty, like hotdogs, etc.
