Cheesesteaks again!
I had another cheesesteak again. I couldn't resist. I pined away for one all week long and I just had to make one. I decided to make a rating system. I used to just rate things on a scale of 5 heads exploding. 1/5 was pretty poor, you might be better off with takeout. 5/5 was amazing - must try food. I decided to make the scale a little more descriptive. I am sure I will have to modify it based on suggestions but here goes.
There are 4 catagories.
1) Ease of making, scale of 10.
1 is something like you have to dig a pit in the backyard, build a fire, bury the food and cook for several days.
10 is boiling water.
7 is you can walk a 5 year old through it with close supervision.
2) tastiness, scale of 10.
1 is not consumable by humans - dog food or shoe leather or nettles. 10 is a food that you eat that by itself gives you a euphoric feeling. This happens occasionally without any alcohol or anything else being consumed. 7 is darn good food, better than you can get in a chain joint.
3) expense, scale of 10.
10 is water from the tap. 1 is Charlie Trotters ($100 per person without alcohol, the most expensive food I have ever had). 3 is take wife out for a steak at a medium quality steakhouse, a step above say Outback.
4) Craving factor, scale of 10.
10 is I dream about it at night, during the day and spend months or even years trying to figure it out. Gino's Pizza for example. 1 is cursed food - I actively try to seek it out and destroy it. 5 is good food. I'll make a 5 at least a few times a year. 7 is a regular staple food, something that is very comfortable.
So for the cheesesteak:
Ease of making
[*******---] 7/10
Tastiness
[*********-] 9/10
Expense
[******---] 6/10 (assuming you use a strip steak and cheez whiz)
Craving Factor
[********--] 8/10
Overall (average of the 4) -
[*******@--] 7.5/10 - DAMN GOOD. Should be a bullet in everyone's arsenal.
Here's to the cheesesteak, and may your life be blessed with many thousands of them!
