KINSTON, N.C. - The Down East Bird Dawgs have cooked up a new milestone, literally.
During Thursday's doubleheader against the Sussex County Miners, the team unveiled and sold the world's most expensive cheesesteak available at a concession stand, priced at $200.25. The extravagant sandwich features a lineup of rare and luxurious ingredients, all served at Historic Grainger Stadium.
The $200 cheesesteak includes:
Kagoshima Wagyu beef, graded 5A with a 12 rating (the highest possible)
White truffle oil
Duck fat-sautéed vegetables, including Cipollini onions and organic red and green bell peppers
Truffle carpaccio made with black summer truffles

The ingredients for the cheesesteak were supplied by Cheney Brothers, a leading food distributor in the Southeast.
"We wanted to do something special for our fans and for Kinston," Bird Dawgs general manager Shari Massengill said. "And to all of Philadelphia, we're letting you know, we're not afraid to take on a challenge."
