I'm all for a good sandwich with delicious sauces, but how are you supposed to eat this? I would argue it's not a sandwich once the bread is too soaked to pick up. It's not even about getting your hands wet and gross, which is bad enough, but the real problem is the lower slice won't have any structural integrity. Shits gonna fall apart and all into your lap.

Instead, I recommend using a knife and fork so you can chop it up like a salad, and it can complete the set as a "soup sandwich salad."

I agreed that it’s losing its benefits of being a sandwich when soaked like that, but there are many sandwiches that are wet or require knife & fork.

...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.

The roast pork and broccoli rabe is my go to over the cheesesteak every time I’m in Philly. I can’t remember the name but there’s a place at Reading Terminal Market that has one I dream about
