Tomorrow night, I'll be a happy man...

[Redstone]

I'm going to Pennsylvania for a business trip, so by this time tomorrow night, I'll have a full belly and completely clogged arteries from the Pudge's cheesesteak hoagie I'll be having for dinner.

Not that I'm not happy pretty much all the time, but it's always nice to have a treat. I haven't been down there for two years, so I got that Hoagie Jones going big time.

You guys who live around Philadelphia know exactly what I mean, don't you?

1. rocknroll, mustachio!

have a safe trip and enjoy every last bite! :hi:

[Redstone]

9. Thanks, kiddo. It'll be fun. Though I'll have to put some work

into keeping the hoagie grease out of the 'stache.

But I'll make the effort just for you.

Redstone

[chickenscratching]

19. You're a riot.

Thanks for keeping the mustachio clean! :rofl: :toast:

2. Philly-area guy here.

I have not eaten at Pudge's, though. Enjoy your stay! I love Philadelphia.

[Redstone]

10. Never eaten at Pudge's? You MUST do so, and immediately!

It's in East Norriton, on Route 202, just north of Township Line Road.

Go there now. No, wait, they're closed this time of night. go there tomorrow.

You won't be sorry you did.

3. grew up there and miss the food

Gooie Louies is also good, down by the Italian market. Also one on front street I think. If your on the company dollar... La Bec Fin...

[Redstone]

14. Le Bec fin is good, all right, but you can get

damn good French food pretty much anywhere...but a good cheesesteak hoagie is something not uneversally available.

So I'll grab one when I can.

So, so you miss Tastykake stuff too?

16. the key to that was

on company dollar. I only go there with clients, cause I just don't believe any food is worth that much of my own money.

I do miss tastykakes, butterscotch krimpets rule the world. I have a freind/competitor who lives in Philly. She brings me an assortment when she comes to Denver.

You live in CT. Ever do a Ted's Steamed Cheese Burger?

[Redstone]

18. Not yet, though I've heard of the place.

Lots of good dog 'n' burger places here, and am still working my way through them.

Though a good dog or burger still isn't the transcendental experience that a good hoagie is.

20. that is so true

my company has a factory in Wallingford. You can get a good pizza in that part of the world. Pizza in Colorado is all bad. A good pizza can be a out of body experience like a good hoagie.

[intheflow]

21. Not true.

Abo's and Pasquini's and Back East Pizza all come to mind. In Colorado. :P

[usedtobesick]

23. It's the company

not the pizza... :freak:

[richmwill]

4. Is it really true...

(according to what my Philly friends tell me) that "If the cheesesteak's not from Philly, it ain't a real cheesesteak"?

[JimmyJazz]

7. That is absolutely the truth!

:hi:

[richmwill]

11. I bought one one time...

...from a McDonalds here in NY.

My Philly friends still haven't let me hear the end of that one.

[usedtobesick]

8. Naaaa but it has to be the right roll

It's all about the roll. Guy who ran the Hoagie shop by my High School in the 80's moved here to Denver. Still has great steaks and hoagies but the roll is all wrong. Someday!

[JimmyJazz]

12. Amoroso's is a must!

[usedtobesick]

13. when they ship them out west...

they put them in plastic bags, the crust gets soft and then they suck.

[Redstone]

15. Or Conshohocken Italian Bakery.

Just as good as Amoroso's, if not better. No insult to Amoroso's intended, of course. They are The Source, after all.

Redstone

[usedtobesick]

17. or WaWa's

wait they might use Amoroso's in their bins. I really miss WaWa's as well. Must be hungry or feeling nostalgic. Was just back there a couple of months ago, must be hungry.

[LynzM]

5. Have a great trip!

Enjoy the food, too :)

[JimmyJazz]

6. OH GAWDS! Now I want one, too!

Oh wait, they have them where I live :D

[PittPoliSci]

22. rarely do i hear something start off

Tomorrow night i'll be happy, I'm going to Pennsylvania!

But it's cool that you like cheesesteaks, you can't get a decent one out here in Pittsburgh, but who needs one when you have Primanti's anyway?
