» fft5305 - "Third Vendor"? Blasphemy!

As I understand it, there are only two vendors of the true Philly Cheesesteak. Now, only one really worth mentioning. Pat's, King of Steaks. The ignorant guy across the street doesn't count. I was fortunate enough earlier this year to have my first Philly Cheesesteak. My South-Jersey-born-and-bred wife had been promising since we started dating, some five years ago, to take me to Philly and she finally came through this spring, the day before Easter. I was like a kid at Christmas waiting in line reading the sign explaining how to order. Imagine Chrissy's dismay when, looking at the menu, she realized she had given up red meat for Lent! I felt bad for her, only getting a pork sandwich, but not so bad that I didn't chow down on a Provy Witout. It was divine intervention that we decided to go to Pat's (as this was before Geno's came out of the xenophobia closet). The cheesesteak was simply divine.

I agree that Pat's Rules, Geno's Roils. If the guy is so genuinely concerned about helping immigrants learn English, why not volunteer at an ESL class or write a check to the local ESL program?

I have to say that Cognac's find seemed to have some Philly cred and looked good. You gotta go, "wiz" "wit" - just once.
