Cheesesteak from Carl's Steaks at Yankee Stadium

We'd never pass on an opportunity to see a ball game. So when an extra ticket to last Wednesday's day game landed in our lap, we hopped the uptown D train and went to watch the Yankees host the Indians. And eat lunch.

Our seats were above the bullpen, just behind the right field wall. CC Sabathia was warming up and throwing long ball. Chris Stewart was some 50 to 75 feet away catching the heat.

The stadium's food stalls run the perimeter of the outfield behind the stands. Food is sold on each of the stadium's four levels and you'll find a hodge podge of great drinking ballgame food therein, Nathan's hot dogs, Parm sandwiches, Premio sausage, Brother Jimmy's BBQ, and Carl's Steaks among them.

We settled on the latter and ordered our cheesesteak the only way we know how to order the Philly staple: with with. That's with cheese whiz and with onions. There's no better way to eat a cheesesteak. The whiz is smeared onto both sides of the roll before a spatula full of well-seasoned steak and onions is lifted off the griddle and set in place. Due to the high volume, the meat is cooked in large quanitity at Carl's, which is good and bad. It's bad because there's too much of it cooking on the griddle to acquire a carmelized char. There's no sweet richness that goes with seared meat. Instead, the steak steams as it cooks and the result is tender, delicate meat.

The still-warm steak melts the whiz and the gooey, salty, cheesey spread works its way into the sandwich's every nook and cranny. It rings in just over $10 ($10.75), but it's enough to share. Though we would never recommend you do that.
