sauteed foie gras, caramelized onions and heirloom shaved tomatoes on a
homemade brioche roll brushed with truffle butter and squirted with
homemade mustard.
Sounds tasty, but US$100 probably buys three weeks’ worth of brown-bag

Hi, Lisa!
Yes, from the photo, the sandwich looks like any other cheesesteak sandwich. Submarines/Heroes/Hoagies don't embrace food aesthetics the way Japanese cuisine does; the philosophy of hoagies is to not sweat appearance but provide meat, and lots of it!

Great. Now I have a truly scary mental image of someone "fluffing" a cheesesteak sandwich.

Dude - I hear ya. Doesn't look much different from the Quiznos. Do you ever hit the Quiznos at King and Dufferin? Figure you might considering you work in Liberty Village...
