Not to hard but it's a pain. I tend to soak it and scrub it.

How authentic is this place? Wife has been wanting to try it for ages.

Philly cheese steak and NYC Reuben. Jewish sandwich. Apparently best grilled sandwich bin NZ and the Prime Minister went there when she was in town.
She had the bat out of hell.

Well, the Reuben looks good, but slightly off. Looking at the menus for the delis I frequent the most, an authentic one of these should be: corned beef, pastrami or turkey (sometimes mixed); grilled on rye (dark, light, seeded, marble) with sauerkraut and melted swiss with a side of Russian dressing.
Philly Cheesteaks are one of the most deceptive sandwiches out there- so easy to mess up, despite its simplicity. I’ve seen a half dozen different “authentic“ cheese options from people who should know. Cheddar, swiss, american and provelone are the usual suspects, but some opt for things like Cheese Whiz (a spreadable cheese product sold in jars). Pepper choices are usually some kind of bell pepper, but common substitutes are banana peppers, sliced jalapeños- sometimes pickled- and pepperoncinis.
Some of the ones I’ve had were done with carefully layered thinly sliced beef, cheese and onion. Others insist that the thinly sliced beef & cheese be chopped & mixed with the edge of the spatula while grilling. And in most cases, they’re using ribeye or flank, not rump.
But the final deciding factor is the flavor & texture, not so much the particular cut. So how “authentic” theirs is would depend on how they handled the meat.

I didn't think they would be to authentic. As long as they taste good not to worried.
American and Canadian exiles over here doing a grocery trip. She loves the coffee here and ingredients.
Covers marmite, bakery, wine etc.
Actually, while the brands and prices are a bit off, the product selections look similar to what I see in the groceries I hit.
The main difference I detected was the seasonality of the fresh produce. For the most part, stuff out of season is simply harder to find* and/or not quite of the same quality as opposed to being pricier. I suspect we simply have a LOT more hothouses and hydroponic farms in our food chain.
* some particular varietals will come and go, but I can usually find some kind of most of the popular fruits & veggies.
