How'd you like a rich, meaty steak sandwich with cheese spread on top for dinner? With a smattering of Cajun fries on the side? Seriously, piled on meat, yummy cheese, and some fresh arugula? How can you refuse? How can we refuse? Be right back, about to spend my employee discount on this meal… Tip: Getting hip to the sticks: halve your potato, then place cut side down. Slice lengthwise into 1/4" slices, then stack half the potato slices and cut again to 1/4" slices .
