Big Pussy deserves respect, he TOFTT. His wet blast in Da Bing was no fake (S1.E11) and it changed The Sopranos and modern series to the present day. The episode started in a bordello, for the first ten minutes it was some of the most inspired drama since I Claudius. Pussy yells and Paulie says, "another satisfied customer". Of course Vincent Pastore had to change his shorts after the scene, small price to pay for making history.
As I said earlier cream cheese and Cheese Wiz couldn't cut it as depression medicine. So the discussion of what cheese makes the best Philly cheese steak is a non-starter.
Ricotta cheese w confectioner sugar and a touch of vanilla is usually the base as per nonna's recipe (then add chocolate chips, not of that candied fruit bullshit). Some will blend in a bit of marscapone, some even more (like half), some blend in whole milk or half n half w the ricotta.
