The 1970s wasn't just an era of gas lines and malaise. It was also the era of fondue, the make-your-own cheese sauce that people made by the light of a lava lamp, while listening to disco. Nothing so dated happening here, with meaty steak strips and funky blue cheese making their own harmony on a delicious pretzel bun. Groovy. Tip: Getting hip to the sticks: halve your potato, then place cut side down. Slice lengthwise into 1/4" slices, then stack half the potato slices and cut again to 1/4" slices.
