GOURMET CHEFS GUSSY UP THE CHEESE STEAK

PHILADELPHIA (Wireless Flash) -- A gourmet cheese steak may sound cheesy but that's what 16 chefs in Philadelphia will attempt to make later today. The gussied-up cheese steaks will be served at the 4th Annual Gourmet Cheese Steak Competition where chefs have created all sorts of variations including... -- Garlic-marinated skirt steak with fried enoki mushrooms and watercress. -- Rolled pepper steak with julienned red and yellow peppers, chopped ginger and Tellagio cheese. -- There's even a smoked rib eye cheese steak with manchego cheese, onion marmalade and roasted pepper rajas. Oddly, not one of the gourmet cheese steaks recipes includes Cheez-Whiz, which cheese steak experts claim is required for true authenticity.
