Would you pay $32 for steak on a ‘stick?’ Most Super Bowl attendees aren’t buying it yet
An entree item added to the Hard Rock Stadium concession stand SOBE-Q’s menu special for the Big Game is creating a buzz, but not the good kind.
The “Steak Kan-Kan”...On a Stick is a 14- to 16-ounce steak with a wooden stick shoved through it going for $32, or about the price of eight Big Macs, designed for well-heeled beef fans.
Despite the long lines, the SOBE-Q on Level 3 had not sold a single steak on a stick by 4 p.m., a cashier said. In line at SOBE-Q on Level 1 around 5:30 p.m., two Chiefs fans asked each other, confused, what the steak on a stick is. The cashier said he had only sold one or two.
In the Level 2 club area, the cashier said he’d sold about seven by 5:50 p.m., but said it’s the least popular menu item by far. When a customer pointed inquisitively to the steaks on sticks behind a glass covering, the cashier said, “It’s steak on a stick.”
“Steak on a what?” the man said.
He ordered the pulled pork instead.
The manager didn’t know who invented the entree item, nor why.
“They bring them, we sell them,” she said.
For fans watching the game from home, there can be only one MVP of Super Bowl meat products: the chicken wing.
More than 1.4 billion chicken wings are enjoyed by Americans on Super Bowl weekend, according to the National Restaurant Association.
