Based on the ingredients... I would say this is worth $100 if you care to eat those things. Very expensive ingredients. Making the same philly cheese steak at home might cost you double that.
 
2004-10-06 12:05:08 AM
I'd hit it.
 
2004-10-06 01:46:34 AM
just go to pat's.
 
2004-10-06 01:48:27 AM
I'd eat it.
 
2004-10-06 01:52:18 AM
what JohnnyC said.

and yea i'd eat it.

just wouldn't buy it.

"$100? That's a cheesesteak. That's cheese and steak. They don't put bourbon in it or nothing?"
 
2004-10-06 01:53:13 AM
It is times like this I wish I was rich. MMMM- Kobe beef.
 
2004-10-06 01:53:26 AM
Provolone or American? Or, if you're voting for Kerry, Swiss?
 
2004-10-06 01:54:23 AM
waa i want a cheesesteak!
 
2004-10-06 01:56:50 AM
Do they serve it on Rye bread with Swiss Cheese??

Served with a small bottle of champagne, Barclay Prime's cheesesteak is made of sliced Kobe beef, melted Taleggio cheese, shaved truffles, sauteed foie gras, caramelized onions and heirloom shaved tomatoes on a homemade brioche roll brushed with truffle butter and squirted with homemade mustard.

all for a low price of $100

/never has had a cheesestake
//would not spend $100 on one meal

step 1. rip off that NY city restaurant's $1,000.00 omelette publicity stunt.

step 2.

etc, etc...
 
2004-10-06 01:58:11 AM
I'll have 25 of the $4 originals please....
 
2004-10-06 02:01:33 AM
screw that. go to south philly to pats or genos. get a real cheese steak.
 
2004-10-06 02:04:15 AM
You know, I was looking at the article a few weeks ago in regards to the new "twist" on beans on toast, and how it was selling for 12USD. I thought "Boy, those Brits would be MORONS to pay that much for friggin' beans on toast!"

To my cousins across the Atlantic, I'm sorry about that. We've truly gotten you beaten in the Stupidity department.
 
2004-10-06 02:04:22 AM
I'd pay for it. But I'd rather have a real philly instead.
 
2004-10-06 02:04:43 AM
Blasphemy!
 
2004-10-06 02:06:47 AM
Probably be pretty damn good. But I'd rather just pay four or five bucks for a regular one. Which reminds me...I haven't had one for a few weeks. I'll go get one tomorrow.
 
2004-10-06 02:08:09 AM
Ha HA... I dated a guy that works(ed?) at that old hotel, the Barclay last year... maybe I could have gotten a deal on that if I stuck around.
 
2004-10-06 02:08:32 AM
I've had Kobe-beef Cheesesteaks before (I only paid $14). Yeah, theyre good, but it's sort of like turbocharging a Pinto.
 
2004-10-06 02:08:33 AM
I read the title as "cheesecake".

Time for sleep.
 
2004-10-06 02:19:28 AM
Kobe Beef is pretty damned good.
 
2004-10-06 02:23:41 AM
Yeah KerryKlu, I did too. I was like "why the hell would you put goose liver and truffles in a Cheesecake? The truffles I could see if they were the chocolate kind, but goose liver? And who the hell would put Kobe beef in their Cheesecake? Kobe beef isn't a dessert.....Ohhhhhhh....I get it now. CheeseSTEAK."
 
2004-10-06 02:30:04 AM
Stephen Starr is the man.
 
2004-10-06 02:35:07 AM



Elzar: Here ya go big spender: Fois Gras and caviar.
Zoidberg: Goose liver? Fish eggs? Pfwa! Where's the goose? Where's the fish?
Elzar: Hey, that's what rich people eat, the garbage parts of the food.
Zoidberg: I ate garbage yesterday, and it didn't cost me $300!
 
2004-10-06 02:41:42 AM
I'm one of those who read it as cheesecake too.
That's something that could be worth $100.

Kobe's beef was not available for comment.

Any Los Angeles farkers know any good So. Cal Cheesesteak places? Outside of a place in Westwood called South Street, I can't find a good one for the life of me...
Orange County would be even better if you know a place
 
2004-10-06 02:48:36 AM
chapman- South Street in Westwood is a total ripoff...it cost like 12 bucks there.
 
2004-10-06 02:51:03 AM

2004-10-06 02:51:42 AM
I'll just take my Provy Wit' from Pat's and be done with it.

I definitely fit the bill of knowing gourmet cooking, as well as how to prepare it--but stuff like this never ceases to annoy the living hell outta' me.

I guess I'm still bitter about my dream to become a chef (when it was still a relatively old-fashioned, low-key profession) being crushed at age 15 by the influx of FoodTV and cilantro in everything.

Ahhh, I've been meaning to get that out for 6 years.
 
2004-10-06 02:53:52 AM
"Any Los Angeles farkers know any good So. Cal Cheesesteak places?"

Well, there's the Cheesesteak Factory...

Oops, guess not.

I want the vintage t-shirt girl to the right there.
 
2004-10-06 02:59:18 AM
Bah, only low class yutzs eat that Kobe crap. Mishima beef all the way baby!
 
2004-10-06 03:02:20 AM
...squirted with homemade mustard.
I can at east sort of tolerate ketchup on cheesesteaks, but mustard? People who put mustard on a cheesesteak are crazy. If you really need to put something on it, add mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato. Cheesesteak hoagies are a nice change once in awhile,
 
2004-10-06 03:03:47 AM
yeah, southstreet is a bit expensive, but when you need a fix, you need a fix.
 
2004-10-06 03:05:03 AM
Kobe beef - or it's equivalent source raised in Australia - goes for about $60/lb mail order for the home chef - so you're not paying too much more for this cheesesteak at the restaurant. Keep in mind you're also getting a bottle of champagne and all the other snazzy ingredients.

Note that Kobe beef is not a cut of beef or a type of steer or a method to raising cattle. It's almost like a brand name that comes from a particular region of Japan. You can get the same "quality" beef from Australia or some places in Europe.
 
2004-10-06 03:10:58 AM
Oh, and it goes without saying that I'll pay $5 for twenty Fat Knights before I'll pay $100 for the best cheesesteak in the world.

 
2004-10-06 03:15:22 AM
I'd just spend the $100 on weed and a pizza. Probably better for my arteries and general well-being anyway.

(kerry joke, kerry joke ... thinking, thinking ... kerry looking like the elitist foppish dandy he is when he went to pats in south philly a few months ago ... this more his style ... joke, think, joke ... ah, to hell with it)

/tired. got nothin.

pfft... there's a special down at the Taco Hut. 100 tacos for $100...

keep that place away from an open flame
 
2004-10-06 03:28:22 AM
pats and genos are both tourist-trap sucky cheesesteak type places. Whoever mentions pats and genos--go back to reading lonely planet: philadelphia or your other source of "hip local" knowledge.
 
2004-10-06 03:38:14 AM
I hate liver but love cheesteaks & truffles. $100 is a bit steep.

Maybe I'll just order a steak MO (mushrooms & onions), or no Ms, and bring my own black truffles and truffle shaver.




 
2004-10-06 04:13:44 AM
For what's in it, $100 isn't an outrageous price. Granted, I'd never pay that much for a single meal but if someone else bought it for me I wouldn't consider it a rip off.
 
2004-10-06 04:34:10 AM
Man, I paid 8 bucks for a cheesesteak, fries, drink, and some tastykakes earlier today (YES! TASTYKAKES IN ORLANDO! I have a new favorite food place) and thought I was paying way too much. 100 bucks? It better be the best damn cheesesteak ever, and on top of that, the waitress better crawl under the table and give fellatio during the meal. Jeez.
 
2004-10-06 04:42:43 AM
Why is this asinine? I see nothing wrong with that.

Orange County would be even better if you know a place


Try phillys best it is even available in OC. They fly in Amoroso rolls daily and do a good job. Especially fun on Sundays if you happen to be a Eagles fan, lots of camraderie to be found
 
2004-10-06 05:20:17 AM
Whoever orders this is an idiot.
And not just because of the price.

This place isn't going to sell these fast enough which means the few that they are going to sell will be useing old ingredients.

good luck, jackasses!
