I half expected to see my tires slashed this morning.
I knew what this link would be before I clicked on it.
I used to care about this but in the winter I don't care anymore. It doesn't smell like the summer, when it just bakes in the sun. I have Friday morning pickup and we always get bumped a full week for the smallest issue - snow, a marathon, the pope, whatever. There's never any attempt to pick it up on Monday and push all of the following week's trash back a single day.

Here's a cute commercial for our city.
Based on the rest of GAF's general concept of Philly, it should probably be batteries fighting Santa Claus, but... yeah.

You are aware that this is a very popular option for cheesesteaks, and has been for God knows how many years, right?
Doesn't make it right.

I pity folks who can't appreciate whiz as well as the genuine article. You're missing out.

And it's still terrible. For many life longs, it's not acceptable.
Neither is lettuce, ya clowns.
Worst part of Pat's and Geno's legacy. Besides the whole racist ass hattery.

Whiz w/o

I have never had lettuce even presented as an option inside of sate lines. Other cities seem to think we love it that way.
Whiz is great. As I guess it just boils down to a matter of taste, I'll just leave it at that.

Stop doing that. Marinara sauce or bust.

Pizza Steaks are a great way to wallow in shame.
So do I.
Marinara on a cheesesteak? I've never heard of that.

Really? You have never had a pizza steak before, man that blows my mind. You have a new objective for today, drop everything and get your self a pizza steak.

My favorite food thing in the world was the buffalo chicken sandwich that the Chicken Heaven truck on Temples campus offered. Man I miss that thing so much.

I like to make my own steaks. There is a small grocer not too far from my place which sells the meat and bread on Thursdays. The place is always packed.
Cheese Wiz is never meant to be put on actual food...only crackers...in the privacy of ones own home where no one else can see your shame.

Genos and Pats - worst cheesesteaks ever yet the city send all the tourists their way.
That cheese wiz garbage is an abomination to a REAL Philly cheesesteak y'all.

Ate a cheesesteak today, but I'll try to get around to it.
I'll try this out too.
Let the tourists go there, that way you can get a better steak at the other places much faster.

Occasionally there's a secretly awesome ribeye cheesesteak at St. Stephen's Green (17th and Green). Eat that and then order the Irish grilled cheese.

Welcome to the area. There's loads of options based on what you like, but this is always a good place to start:

In terms of places in conshohocken, El Limon has good inexpensive mexican food and they give you a ton of food. Right on Fayette street.
Baggataways bar has my favorite wings in the area, as well as a good tap list.
There are some good places in Manayunk, which is close, and then of course a ton of places in Philadelphia

I don't know much about Conshohocken. If you want a quick and easy list Philadelphia Magazine does a top 50 every year.
Here is the list from this past December: 50 Best Restaurants in Philly
If you have a particular cuisine you prefer I can guide you down to something more specific. Welcome to a massive upgrade in the quality of food and restaurants over what you're used to in Atlanta.
Edit: Shit, Stevie beat me to this like a red headed step child.

Walrus, we all defer to your sophisticated and educated palette.
A Mano was great, BTW. My wife did a double take when I told her someone named AbortedWalrusFetus recommended it.

If you are in Conshy then you are super close to Angelo's Pizza in King of Prussia, more of a pizza joint then a resturant, but man! It's some damn good pizza. I'm a regular there I just can't get enough of the stuff. Decent steaks as well but the pizza is my favorite in the area.

I'm glad there are other people who agree on not going whiz. Give me the real cheese.

Nice. I'm actually trying to go back tonight. What'd you guys order?
We had the antipasti plate, roasted cauliflower, the squid ink alla chitarra, and the braised pork shank. It was great.
Did you hear Bar Hygge is supposed to open Feb 3?
StevieWhite
Member
My wife had the pork shank and I had the chicken milanese. Both great.
Feb 3rd? That's sooner than I thought.

They were having the kitchen remodeled a bit. The flat top grill isnt installed yet but its basically back. Means I dont have to go to shitty view when I want to eat and drink at kellianns anymore.

Don't like troegs???
I do, just not a big fan of nugget nectar.
