I would, but I graduated and don't live in Philly anymore. Luckily, Wawa has followed me to Virginia

Don't fret though - knowing how SEPTA drivers are, I'm sure she can manage that without any help or suggestion from either of us

Rycet, is the Tony Luke's in South Philly better than the one on the Penn campus? Because I can't stand the on-campus one. Maybe it's just the Aramark foodservice people that ruin it...

Blue C Sushi in Fremont, Seattle - great Kaiten-style sushi on conveyers!


Houston's San Francisco - the Fireplace outside; a great wine list - love it (I know it's a chain, but it's good!)

Osaka sushi in Las Vegas
Hey, it made a believer of Edwood ~ 'nuff said!


The Old Homestead Steak House in New York City
Yes, Jerry tried to order a salad there. Yes, you can get a Kobe Beef Burger. But this is where it all began; the smell of the steak arrives before it is actually in front of you!

Iso in the East Village
Big Pieces, a little bit more expensive these days with a new owner, but still great!

Coffaro's Pizza in South River NJ
Order it a little well done. This is *&%#^* sacreligious as the best pizza in the world is from NYC, but I love it.

Carmine's in NYC
Great Volume Eating in NYC ~ Delicious!

Chez Vachon Manchester NH
The last word in Crepes - yes they are better here than in Montreal! Don't go there if you don't ever want to crave a crepe again!

Vancouver BC
Right in Yaletown - tasty; mmmmm


Yup it's better than in Japan. Yup, I mean it, and there's an all-you-can eat sushi place in the same plaza.

Noodle Gourmet in New Brunswick
Love it; but then again I love noodle! Millions of Rutgers Students can't be wrong. Is it wrong to love noodle?


The Ramen Museum in Japan
Yes, they have made me hate eating in Japan, except for this place!

Hhmm, I never tried the one on penn but I prefer Tony luke's compare to Pat's. I'll say eating Tony Luke's cheesesteak is eating steak with cheese where as Pat's is eating cheese with steak

Btw, Stevesurf, thank's for the Sushi place recommendation in Seattle, I'll try that on my trip to Seattle.

this, my friend, is a cheesesteak:

from Pat's:


a cheesesteak is a sandwich using a small loaf of bread (hero) with thinly sliced or shaved steak that is grilled with onions and topped with cheese, there is a never ending debate of what cheese is used for authenticity; some say it's the cheese product called Cheese Whiz, Provolone, or American. i like Provolone so that's what i went with on my cheesesteak above.

aww hell, it's hard not to mention Geno's when talking about Pat's so here's a photo of Geno's:


i prefer Pat's.

Yeah, I love it there. Ive been there two or three times and love the food. I'm really not a fan of our tourist-trappy cheesteak places.

Jane's On the Common: Small place in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Small menu and amazing dishes, a different special of the day every single day. One of the best restaurants in all of Canada.

ByMark: Probably my favourite place to eat in my second home of Toronto. Can easily drop $300 in a single meal and its well worth it. Contemporary designs and you are catered to at every second.

Saege: Quite possibly the best bistro I have ever been to. There is not one thing on the menu that is sub par, and what I think is the best chicken dishes I have ever had, period.

Monster Cake at Harold's in Edison, NJ

Massive, Volume eating at Harold's. Their Pastrami is quite good. Note the size of a single piece of Chocolate Mousse Cake. I have placed bottles of wine next to the box for a sense of scale.

Also note that I had to use a fisheye lens to photograph it!

How much does a "slice" of cake like that cost? It looks like it'd serve 12 people!

It would feed dessert to about eight; it was $10. I have never seen so many big people in my life...it is truly difficult fitting down the aisles in this restaurant!
