Recently, while perusing the frozen section of my local Shoprite, CBS3 reporter Sean Murphy came across a sight that defies explanation Tony Luke's Frozen Cheesesteaks?
That's right, Tony Luke's Frozen Cheesesteaks. I haven't been this flummoxed since Arlen Specter made the switch. And I got to tell you, confusion isn't the only reaction to this.
"Yo Tony Luke, wrote one angry consumer, "My name is Pauly from South Philly. How could you? Frozen cheesesteaks? It's ... It's ..."
"He's going to think it's an abomination," says Tony Luke Jr.
"It's an abomination," wrote Pauly.
"Is this going to appease the diehard cheesesteak fan? No, says Tony. "He doesn't wanna admit it publicly. Pauly, but there's no way you're going to eat this product and tell me that the meat is not tender, it's juicy and it's very, very flavorful. We've been working on this for a very long time to get it right."
Speaking of right, politically speaking ...
"Come on, a frozen cheesesteak? Isn't that like routing for the Dallas Cowboys in the city of Philadelphia?" asked Jim Gerlach, Republican Congressman from the 6th District of Pennsylvania.
A Democratic Congressman was less skeptical.
"Frozen Cheesesteak? Sure, it's a great way to stimulate the economy!" said Bob Brady, Democratic Congressman from the 1st District of Pennsylvania.
And here's how.
For $6.99 a box, you get two, 100 percent black angus sirloin cheesesteaks with two seven inch rolls, perfect for microwaving or boiling.
"Here's your clean up, this is it, you're done," says Tony, as he throws away the packaging.
So, whether you're on the left
"It's good!" says Brady.
The right...
"Very good!" says Gerlach.
Or somewhere in the middle...
"It was very good," said Sal Navarra of Lindenwold, New Jersey.
"This is the best frozen cheesesteak on the market today," said Tony.
It must be to get Jim Gerlach and Bob Brady together.
