I'm a little surprised at Joe not having heard of a Philly Cheese Steak as it too gets a fair run of mentions in US films of one kind or another but to me, as a non-US resident, Shoeless Joe was a name that I knew and was strongly aware of, having really like the movie, long before I'd heard of a Philly Cheese Steak.
Agree that a Philly Cheese Steak can be OK but like everything in life, there are good and bad examples.

That really surprises me. I would have bet the house that a baseball movie made 30+ years ago would be pretty niche over there.
I mean it's a good movie but cheesesteaks are pretty great.
However, an Italian beef sandwich in Chicago CRUSHES the best cheesesteak in the world.

Yes! A Philly cheesesteak, at an airport, in
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Not ideal. However, I guarantee there is a half-decent Cuban sandwich available there. You gotta do your sandwich research before travelling.
Sorry to keep taking the thread OT so - All this Andretti stuff is weird but I've never been an Andretti fan. I have no control over any of this and feel nothing.
