Are You Hungry For $100 Philly Cheesesteak?

Stephen Prime, owner of Barclay Starr, opened a new steakhouse and is using the $100 Cheesesteak as a marketing ploy. He believes that they may sell. He envisions a wealthy patron coming in and ordering a round of cheesesteaks for the whole table.

From the story:

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.

The standard $4 cheesesteak, available at hundreds of sandwich shops, pizzerias and burger joints around the city, is made with thin-sliced ribeye on an Italian roll with American or provolone cheese _ or Cheez Whiz at Pat's King of Steaks, the South Philadelphia landmark that claims to have invented the steak sandwich in 1930.

I'll stick to my Steakums and Kraft Mozzarella w/ mushrooms and onions on a white 6" hoagie bun!
