Charleys Cheesesteaks Mural

Sweet Dreams Are Made of Cheese

In this photograph of a Charleys cheesesteak dining area, the viewer is presented with a visual paradox: a space designed to be loud, fun, and full of flavor, caught in a moment of absolute stillness. A wall-length mural dominates the frame with hyperactive cartoon illustrations. Gooey cheesesteaks cascade in dramatic arcs, French fries take flight, and a wireframe cow floats near a skyline and an airplane. Above it all, a thick red stripe bisects the top of the wall, part warning and part underlining.
