First of all, I didn't realize they even had a croissant option. But more importantly, Italian beef on a croissant -- messy heresy!

Ok...I'm a season ticket holder and never seen a salad at Wrigley, unless you mean the restaurant with tables by the right field corner? Or perhaps I just don't see the salad through the heavy fog of real ballpark food!

More heresy! Your only Italian beef options shall be sweet peppers (meh) or hot peppers (correct ), and dipped (correct) or dry. Now, if it was just a roast beef croissant sandwich, I'm right there with you.

Yeah, I have my rules. I also only eat tavern style pizza, not deep dish.

Having grown up in Wisconsin, and buying all our cheese from small "cheese factories", we also always had a block of Velveeta. It still makes the best queso dip. Pluto isn't a planet, and buffaloes don't have wings. Velveeta gets my vote for a cheese.
