Anybody have the "Chiefsteak"?
My god.
http://www.pitch.com/FastPitch/archi...age-chiefsteak Tasting Arrowhead's new, Philly-homage Chiefsteak Posted by Jonathan Bender on Wed, Oct 2, 2013 at 9:03 AM "What. Is. That?" asked the first man I walked by on the concourse Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. He pointed at the comically large cardboard box I was balancing. Inside the box was a footlong bun loaded down with smoked brisket, primary-colored swatches of cheese and bell peppers, and a burping river of barbecue sauce: the Kansas City Chiefsteak. The stadium has introduced its newest sandwich in homage to Andy Reid, the mustachioed head coach whose most recent previous job was in the city of angioplasty. (Philadelphia has not officially adopted this slogan. Yet.) I'll say this for the $15 sub: It's certainly an attention-getter. I was briefly as popular as the nearby cheerleader talking about her swimsuit calendar. But, as with any showpiece purchase, the Chiefsteak began to depreciate as soon as money changed hands. This novelty sandwich was more novelty than sandwich. That big bun was just a hot-dog roll on HGH - a sad misstep in a city with great bread. The smoked brisket was tender but hidden under a cheddar sauce as thick and characterless as elementary-school paste. It's fundamentally wrong that the sweet peppers turned out to be the part of the sandwich I enjoyed most. You need a fork and a knife to battle through the Chiefsteak, which slays a forest of napkins. The moat of crispy, peppery barbecue chips, packed in with this meat volcano, was the real star of the box I bought. The other side item, a jalapeño slaw, didn't deliver on the promised kick. So add the Chiefsteak to the list of Philly-hopeful sandwiches that fall short. But some things - like football fans who use Cheez Whiz to dull their battery-throwing, expletive-spewing pain in the wake of the great Chip Kelly experiment - are best left to that city anyway. What the Chiefsteak has going for it is basic KC value: It's filling (working well split between two people) and, as stadium food goes, cheap. |

Who eats inside the stadium anyway? Eat at the tailgate so your mouth/hands are free for beer drinking and cheering during the game.
