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.
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
I have not had the Torta, but I’ve eaten the other two and they weren’t soaked in soup. I also like a good french dip, but there you dip the bread a little at a time.
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.

What regional Philly sandwich? I’ve only had cheesesteak, pork & greens, and some scrapple breakfast thing. Not a fan of scrapple

You might be thinking of Dinics.
