10/11/2004: $100 Cheesesteak - Page 2

wolf · 10-11-2004, 08:22 PM

I truthfully can't conceive of a situation in which I would pay $100 for food ... I mean one freakin' sandwich, not a complete meal for myself and at least one other person.

Yes, I've been to fancy eatin' places. And yes, I've run up a tab, including wine, of over $150 just for me, but I'm talking starting from the little bowl of water with the lemon to wash yer hands in, all the way to the exotic desert item involving a mininum of four kinds of chocolate made into swirly patterns around the plate.

$100 for a damn sandwich. What is the world coming to? Are there, as Alexander mourned, no more worlds to conquer?

It would probably be illegal to serve a real cheese steak to high school students. There are certain nutritional standards which apply to school food service.

$100 cheesesteak? Did Stephen Starr hire Sam from the Apprentice after Trump dumped him?

Damn guys, ive never seen that before! It just looks like a sandwich with pita-meat and cheese!!

I wouldnt be eating that for 100 bucks... il have a real Belgian " Croque Truf Tropic" Like a toast with cheese, truffels, some exotic fruit that is marinated in Champagne, and slices of thin meat called "Ossehaas".... for only 50 bucks...

It looks like I will have to go to Dalessandro's tomorrow afternoon for one and take pictures of it. I should be able to get the film developed tomorrow, so I can have the photos up tomorrow night.

Undertoad · 10-11-2004, 08:46 PM

I was thinking the same thing

elSicomoro · 10-11-2004, 08:51 PM

Hey, if you decide to come down this way, let me know. I live 5 minutes from Dalessandro's.

Shit, I'd go get one now if I weren't full from dinner.

Yep. Pudges was still there last time I drove past.

Since I am held prisoner at the nuthouse I don't get to have steaks from there very often though. I live about um ... 7 minutes away. in traffic.

True dat, LJ. Good ole Pudge (Blue Bell location) is one of my favorite stops when in the area. Gotta get up there sometime soon. Mebbe in two weeks. And I still have a Pat's when in Philly...it's what's open that late. And still not too bad, despite syc's opinion. Geno's on the other hand...blech!

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a real cheesesteak:

Clodfobble · 10-12-2004, 08:46 PM

But... But... There's no cheese on it!

elSicomoro · 10-12-2004, 08:53 PM

It's inside the steak...some places serve 'em like that.

bobspoon · 10-13-2004, 05:07 AM

Sycamore, that looks for all the world like a turd in a bun.

Do they ever make them look any more appetising than that? With some salad, perhaps?
