Landon Donovan picks Jim's. David Beckham eats $100 cheesesteak?

Who eats a cheesesteak, and where they eat it at is usually pretty unexciting to me.  However, the LA Galaxy are in Philly this week to play the Union on Thursday.  That means there could at least be a few solid David Beckham and Landon Donovan sightings.  According to Landon Donovan's Twitter feed he grabbed a steak around 1am on Wednesday morning from Jim's Steaks on South Street.
Landon followed up with a later post to say: "Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm, That was delicious! First cheesesteak was a massive success...perhaps I'll try Geno's or Pat's after the game tomorrow."

David Beckham also had a steak in Philly last night.  Him and his wife Victoria dined at Barclay Prime with a few teammates as well.  According to those connected with Barclay Prime, Beckham ordered the $100 cheesesteak.  The Barclay Prime cheesesteak made national news a few years ago with its upscale ingredients.  There is no direct mention of the steak on the current menu, but it was known to include "sliced Kobe beef, melted Taleggio cheese, shaved truffles, sauteed foie gras, caramelized onions and heirloom shaved tomatoes on a homemade brioche roll brushed with truffle butter and squirted with homemade mustard."  Whether or not, Beckham actually ordered the Barclay Prime cheesesteak, there is sure the contrast of menu options on your fork (or in your hand) in Philadelphia.
