Life with Bees

Si and TK are conducting a campaign that involves plenty of Rock Band and whacky American food. The "Rocking the Foot Long" project is a manly and often meaty journey through the United Sandwiches of America. Truly.

This week they made Philadelphia cheese steak sandwiches. And got through the Rock Band AC/DC song pack.


TK cooked some prime wagyu on the egg and let it rest wrapped it in alum foil for about 20 minutes. He put a pan on the egg and gently fried some sliced onion and red capsicum. Then he cut the steak into thin strips and mixed it into the onion and capsicum. A generous helping of sliced provolone went into the pan and the whole smoky, melting mixture was turned out and spread over a sourdough loaf with a softly chewy crust from Silo.

Si and TK had half a loaf each. I declined on the basis that I was unable to punch that far above my weight in the sandwich department. But I did have a taste - the sandwich was a combination of richly flavourful meat and the sweet crunch of capsicum, with the gooey cheese and warm bread as an intermediary. The only drawback was the loaf was a little large. "I'm getting lockjaw,'' Si mumbled, halfway through a massive bite.

Afterwards the two guys sat limply on the sofa, groaning faintly and tittering about "my manwich!"

They had to play all the songs on the AC/DC Rock Band pack to perk up again.
