I think so and I voted for it. Some custom tweaks that don’t stray far should be commended for originality. And they make it on a Virgilio’s roll. Lights out.
Not by any means authoritative but a consensus definition can be found on Wikipedia: A steak bomb is a hot submarine sandwich consisting of slices of steak with salami and melted provolone cheese under grilled onions, sautéed red and green bell peppers, mushrooms, and peppered shaved steak all on a grilled submarine sandwich roll although there are other variations that include pepperoni, sliced ham, capicola, or even bacon. It is considered an offshoot of a cheesesteak sandwich. It is most closely associated with the New England region of the United States.
Joe…the only way to have a fair competiton is to have a level playing field, to have all the contestants use the SAME ingredients…and then the judges will decide who does the best job in preparation…I love the wings and the fish sandwich at the Brewery, and their version of a “bomb” may be delish, but it does not fit the “classic” bomb ingredients list…but if you want to let them in, by all means do it, however, at $11 they will be garranteed to end in 4th place because the value category will sink them…I am glad that I am not going to be a judge in this one…
I think it has the minimum, shaved steak, cheese, linguica and green peppers. If I was making the rules my steak bomb is one that everything is chopped up so small you could eat it with no teeth. Something to look forward to in old age, gum a steak bomb to death for lunch.
No salami, no mushrooms, no problem. A steak bomb tells you it’s a steak bomb when you have it stuffed in your mouth. Are all the little juicy bits all communicating together into one juicy explosion? If you can pull that off without some salami and mushrooms, kudos to you.
I mean it’s not a complete sacrilege like John Kerry ordering a philly cheese steak with swiss cheese. Stupid crap like that gave us four more years of Bush.

They’re using linguica instead of salami — not the end of the world. Although I can’t understand the lack of mushrooms….
