Rodney: "The secret to the cheese steak: the longer it sits, the better it tastes. You eat the cheese steak right away, it's good. One hour later, it's 100 times better." Chaz: "Some water on the grill creates a little thrill. Now we're talking, there's some steam. He stuffs nearly 3-quarters of a pound of steak into a hearty roll."
