JD Vance went to Pat’s King of Steaks on Monday for a signature cheesesteak following a campaign stop in North Philly , but ended up trending on social media for questioning why the South Philadelphia staple was missing a key ingredient.

Vance was questioning to know why Pat’s didn’t have Swiss cheese. Although he was inquisitive of why they were lacking product, he made it clear that he was not of fan.

“I don’t like Swiss cheese, either,” the Republican vice presidential nominee said through the window to several employees at the cheesesteak shop at 9th Street and Passyunk Avenue. “But everyone says it’s ‘insulting.’ Why do you guys hate it so much? What’s the story?”

A Pat’s employee can be heard replying to Vance saying: “We don’t hate it, we just don’t use it.”

Vance ended up ordering a cheesesteak with Cheez Whiz and fried onions. He then signed some autographs for people lined up around Pat’s and took a photo with some employees.

Vance’s visit to Philadelphia on Monday was focused on economic and energy issues. Vance highlighted that the GOP’s economic plan includes “stopping reckless spending” and “unleashing American energy.”

“We believe that if we make more stuff in America, Pennsylvania workers, Pennsylvania families are going to benefit,” Vance said.
