Quiznos
Sandwich chain Quiznos is introducing two new takes on its classic Philly cheesesteak: the queso Philly and the mushroom Philly. The queso Philly features angus steak, queso blanco, sauteed peppers and onions and banana peppers, while the mushroom Philly features the same toppings as a traditional Philly cheesesteak, but with sauteed mushrooms as the protein instead of angus steak.
“Creativity and innovation are what we know, and we thrive to reimagine beloved favorites — such as the Philly cheesesteak — and invent a new flare to the recipe,” said Greg Boudreaux, brand leader at Quiznos. “The masterfully crafted queso Philly and mushroom Philly subs offer a craveable experience guests will love.”Source: Business Wire
