What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNow to lunch: Arby's has launched three Chicken Cheesesteak sandwiches for a limited time, Merca2.0 reports, and I am scoring them blind, from here.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorChicken. In a cheesesteak. Philadelphia will hear of this.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNine point five. I smell peppers softened by a gentle Tuesday, and a roll with real ambition.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFour. Three flavors means one of them is the flavor that goes wrong, and it'll be the one you pick.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorChat, rate Dale's four out of ten. Mine today was a gas station burrito eaten in a parked car.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA cold tea and one cracker, and I stand by it.
