Heirloom tomatoes are tomatoes grown from seeds from plants that are rarely grown, but which have more flavor. I have had them a couple fo times, and they are wonderful.

Kobe beef is supposed to be the best - the most flavorful, the most tender, etc. It is Japanese and very expensive.

Steak sandwich wine - any good red will do. Unless it is a Kobe beef steak in which case the Bordeaux still stands as arecommendation. (Ignoring the Thunderbird...)

It sounds like he's trying to do to the sandwich what the Harley factory did to their bikes.

There's a reason there are so many of those "FTF" stickers on the cars of people who have been riding Harleys for a long time.

I was underwhelmed with it myself.

And it's certified mad cow free, unlike US beef. The Japanese test 100% of their beef, while we test a tenth of one percent.

1) Who cares? A tomato, while technically a fruit, is rather close to vegetable-ness, and I'm not eating it on a steak. The only vegetable-type things which belong on a steak are onions and (optionally) peppers (which are also fruits).

2) Kobe beef has flavors so subtle, you might even say it's tasteless. Doesn't belong on a steak either.

3) Anything red with a screw-top will do. If you MUST use a corked wine, just grab the red-wine special at the State Store; should run you about $6. Better yet, get a beer instead.

Keep in mind that I took the photo with a 35mm camera. Plus, that's a plain one (just meat and cheese)...some folks like to dress theirs up with onions, peppers, ketchup, hot sauce and/or mayo.

That was the first time I've ever had Dalessandro's, and it was pretty good. Not the best I've ever had, but way better than Pat's or Geno's.

That would be a cheese steak hoagie.

Dalessandro's is known for the immense amount of meat they give you which is one reason why it looks like that.

photographing food to look tasty is very difficult. Pro food photographers don't use real food most of the time. The props they use look gross in person but it works in pictures. Like meeting someone wearing stage makeup.
Plus Syc isn't the photographer in the family. ;)

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.

What if you slurp down the diamond? (yes, I know the biological processes which result in the return of the gemstone, but do they warn unknowning recipient about the prize?)

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... :)

If you ever get to Philadelphia, we'll get you a real cheesesteak.

For about $5.

I'm all set with my ham sandwich. If I buy a $100 cheesesteak it better come with a TV, or at the very least a VCR. :thumbsup:
