Idaho restaurant breaks ‘world’ record by assembling a super long Philly cheesesteak
In an astonishing feat of culinary engineering, an Idaho restaurant has apparently achieved the unimaginable by assembling what is being called the world’s longest Philly cheesesteak sandwich. The sandwich, which spans an impressive length of 722.8 feet, has taken the foodie world by storm, attracting crowds of onlookers from far and wide.
So, why did the restaurant make a sandwich that’s longer than a football field? Apparently, it all started when the owner of the eatery, Joe Schmoe, heard about a similar feat that was achieved by a rival restaurant in New York in 2011. According to Joe, he decided to one-up his competitor by creating a sandwich that was not only longer but also tastier, he said.
The creation of the sandwich was no easy task, and it took a team of experts over 70 hours to complete the feat. According to witnesses, the process was long and laborious, with each ingredient being carefully placed atop the massive bread roll. The final product is said to contain over 300 pounds of steak, 150 pounds of cheese, and an assortment of vegetables, including peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
While some are hailing the achievement as a world-record, others have been quick to point out that there is no official Guinness World Record for the longest Philly cheesesteak sandwich. The popular record keeping organization has yet to verify the claims made by the Idaho restaurant, leaving many in doubt as to whether it can be considered a bona fide ‘world’ record.
Critics have also voiced concerns about the practicality of such a sandwich. One local resident, who happened to be walking by the restaurant when the sandwich was revealed, remarked that it was “ridiculous” and “impractical”. “Who in their right mind would want to eat something that long?” she asked, shaking her head.
Despite the controversy, the restaurant’s management remains positive about the achievement. They say that the sandwich is a testament to the skill and dedication of their staff members, and that it will make great publicity for their establishment. “We know that people are going to come from far and wide to see and try the sandwich,” said Joe Schmoe. “We’re hoping that it will put our little restaurant on the map.”
The sandwich is set to be cut up into smaller portions and sold at the establishment over the coming days. It remains to be seen whether it will be as successful as the restaurant’s management is predicting, or if the whole thing will turn out to be a gigantic failure. But one thing is for sure; it’s definitely the longest Philly cheesesteak sandwich that Idaho has ever seen.
