Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Request grilled onions and peppers cooked until soft and slightly caramelized for maximum sweetness and depth.
Ask for the chipotle mayo applied generously but evenly to avoid dry spots; specify it on both sides of the sub roll if possible.
Order banana peppers and cherry relish on the side first to control tanginess; add to taste before eating.
Eat immediately after assembly—the sub roll absorbs moisture quickly and becomes soggy if left sitting more than 5 minutes.

Substitutions

White American cheese → Provolone or Swiss (milder, less creamy)
Chipotle mayo → Sriracha mayo or spicy ketchup mixed with mayo (different heat level)
Cherry pepper relish → Diced roasted red peppers or pickled cherry peppers (less concentrated flavor)

Common Questions

Can I make this at a different sandwich shop?

Yes. Order a cheesesteak with white American cheese, add grilled onions, grilled peppers, chipotle mayo, lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, and cherry pepper relish to approximate the flavor.

What makes this hack taste like an In-N-Out Double-Double?

The combination of grilled onions, peppers, and cherry relish creates the sweet-savory-tangy profile similar to In-N-Out's signature sauce and toppings on a double burger.

Can I substitute the chipotle mayo?

Yes. Regular mayo mixed with a pinch of smoked paprika and cayenne, or any chipotle-flavored spread, works as a substitute.

How should I order this at Jersey Mike's?

Order the #43 Chipotle Cheesesteak, then specify: white American cheese, grilled onions, grilled peppers, extra cherry pepper relish, lettuce, tomato, and banana peppers.
