Cheesesteak Futures

    by Daniel Rubin
    Published 

That most simple Philadelphia sammich is getting pricey.

Niall Ferguson, a Harvard professor from across the pond, writes in the Sunday Telegraph that he's having to dig deeper in his pockets to taste the Philadelphia cheesesteak.

The historian, in a piece on population growth and food production, notes:

When I wanted a Philly cheese steak in the States last week, I had to pay through the nose. That's because cheese inflation is 4 per cent, steak inflation is 6 per cent and bread inflation is 10 per cent. (American steak is now 53 per cent dearer than it was 10 years ago.)

I'm guessing he wasn't even talking this pretentious abomination.

Seriously, a Brit is complaining about the price of food in Philly?  Gimme a break!

My grandmother, born in a Father, Son, Holy Ghost house in Fishtown in 1902, ate sammiches and always carried a pockabook.

Thanks for the reminder, although Philadelphians don't talk funny - other people do.

I hope he got a good one at least and not one from Pat's or Geno's.
