Replicating Wein's success with the hundred dollar cheese steak could present several challenges. First, it requires a unique and innovative idea that can create a buzz. Simply copying Wein's idea may not generate the same level of interest. Second, it requires the ability to deliver a high-quality product that justifies the high price tag.
