Griddled-meat sandwiches, few seats. You can find a "steak and take" joint here and there in the five boroughs, but it's easier closer to Philadelphia, where the term probably first took hold (Philly cheesesteaks are always on the menu). At Good Brothers, the namesake sandwich includes chopped onions and bell peppers and a special sauce or two. As a lunch special ($5), the steak and take also comes with great fat fries and a drink.
Side note: I've read more than one unconvincing origin story about Pittsburgh sandwiches with fries between the bread. Could the inspiration be as simple as a tight-packed takeout container?
