Ever since we landed in San Francisco and refused to leave, we've heard people talking about the Korean steak sandwich at Rhea's Deli and Market . People say things like "It's amazing" and "Get away from me, I'm trying to eat" and "Did you just lick a drop of sauce off of my shirt? I'm calling the police."
The Korean steak sandwich is Rhea's famous marinated rib-eye steak (which starred in Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights), cheddar cheese, house-pickled red onions and jalapenos, lettuce, chili sauce and garlic aioli, served on a roll.
Ian: There is a line for everything in San Francisco. I think I just saw a bunch of people line up behind a pigeon eating an old bag of Funyuns.
Miles: I'd be willing to wait in line for an hour just to eat the paper this was wrapped in.
Seth: I did eat some paper, and it was delicious.
Ian: It's like a well-educated Philly Cheesesteak.
Miles: A Philly Cheesesteak that went abroad its junior year and is now totally into Asian culture.
Ann: Hey look, there's a little Beef DMZ between the vegetables and the cheese.
Seth: The delicious sauce got all over my hands, so at least now I don't have to bathe for a while.
Ian: I read one thing that says this sandwich has a cult following. Explains why I can't stop stockpiling firearms.
Miles: And why you're only wearing robes made of marinated rib-eye.
Miles: When it said "house-pickled red onions," I was hoping to be served by Hugh Laurie.
Ian: Another good thing about this sandwich is when it's in your mouth, you're not making that joke.
Miles: I can't remember, is there still a ban on people marrying sandwiches in San Francisco? If not, does anyone have a ring I could borrow?
Seth: You know, one bad thing is I do really feel this sitting in my stomach. Like a tasty, tasty anvil.
[The verdict: another great San Francisco sandwich. Rhea's has a bunch of other delicious-looking sandwiches on their menu. We don't have a lot of time left here, but with the standard six meals a day, we should be able to try most of them.]
