Fiyyaz Pirani wanted an authentic sandwich so badly, he paid a small fortune to get it.

CEO spends an average persons rent for a year, on a sandwich.

Pathetic.

$32k for a cold and soggy sandwich

Check the article, it does say that it was kept in a food heater compartment of some sort for the flight.

But seriously, Cheez Whiz of all sorts of cheese? Doesn't a proper Philly Cheese Steak use Provolone? I mean I'm no genius, but I'm pretty sure he could have gotten a better sandwich right there in Texas, even if he had to go get his own Cheez Whiz.

I'm cringing at the thought of the wasted money, the food crime of Cheez Whiz, and yeah I bet that shit was soggy as a swamp by the time it got there.

everyone that worked in a restaurant can tell you the leaving freshly cooked food under the warmer for more than 20 mins ruins it

That's a garbage cheesesteak. Even the photo looks like a turd on a hot dog bun.

I'll hook this douche up with a real sandwich for $50,000.00. Dare me.

I’d love to see the CO~2~ emissions for this sandwich.

[–] over_clox 2 points 1 day ago

It's at least 2, obviously. Probably 3 because of the Cheez Whiz...

Small fortune? That's at least 20 eggs worth, that's a large fortune!
