Food you can't get anywhere else

Recommended Posts

Val, if you ever get to Philly, stop at any street corner vendor and get a plain soft pretzel with yellow mustard. This is the old standard which all others are judged from. Part Semolina flour dough, boiled crust before baking and topped with coarse salt.
Maybe we can get Phil to whip up a batch this summer?

My wife and I will make roadtrips to Gulf Shores, Alabama in the summer for a few days. While there we make it a point to hit a little place near the beach called "The Steamer." They serve "royal reds" a special type of very deep water shrimp available only during certain times of the year in the Gulf of Mexico. They are huge and taste like nothing else. Hoping to make it back there this summer if things are rebuilt from the hurricane. ;)

From my kitchen. I make the best breakfast sammiches in the whole world.

2 eggs fried
3 pieces of bacon fried
3 pieces of toasted honey wheat bread
Mayo or Miracle Whip (I like MW)
2 slices of cheese
2 or 3 pieces of thinly sliced ham grilled warm on the bacon
2 pieces of thinly sliced tomato

Combine in sammich format and consume.

Excuse my naivete - whats miracle whip?! Thats the only thing that seems like it might not be in what is otherwise the perfect sandwich!!!:D



It's a mayo related salad dressing. Kind of a flavored version of mayo. B|

Miracle Whip

Speaking of Chese Whiz. Lemme get into the spirit of the thread...

There is a place down the street where I live in Houston called Jake's Phillysteaks. The owner is from Philly, so he brought the skill to make an awesome cheesesteak sandwhich to Houston with him. He has an original with onions, bell peppers, mushrooms all grilled with the steak and cheese, then covers the whole inside with jalapeno cheese whiz! Order a large with fresh cut fries and a cold Shiner Bock.. [drool icon]

Oh man I know where I'm going for lunch today!! :)

No, no,no,no,no.....I was just going to post that I make the best breakfast sandwiches. Just had one, so I have to concur....lol

One egg fried over medium in butter....real butter

Horseradish on 2 pieces of good wheat bread. On one piece of bread put 3-4 slices of turkey. cover the other with sliced up fresh mushrooms, onions, tomato, and mozarella cheese. Put it under the broiler until it's brown.

Stick your egg (with a slightly runny yolk) in the middle and chow down baby.....YUMMMY!!!

Peace~

You are both wrong. Wildblue makes the best breakfast sandwiches ever. He uses hot sauce!

Oh your use of a condiment is your own choice. I just make the sammich. I normally top my eggs with some Frank's Redhot sauce.

Whenever I go to Chicago (which has been way too long) I go for a good slice of Chicago pizza -- giordanos or carmen's (in Evanston). There is nothing better.. makes me fat and happy!:)
Also, I LOVE mallomars -- which I usually can only find in Manhattan or Florida. Every now and then I come across them in some specialty grocery store and immediately buy 3 boxes. YUM

thats interesting (or maybe not :P) that you like both MW and mayonaise. Its usually a love/hate relationship with one or the other. I love mayo but cannot stand the taste of MW.

Horseradish gives a sandwich a spicy edge with more finesse, imho....lol.

Philly Cheesteaks. I've had sandwiches with that name in other places, but they aren't the same. It's all about the Amoroso's bread, and the way you order it. Where else can you say "Whiz wit" and someone gives you great food?

Entenmann's.

Wawa, especially their Raspberry Iced Tea.

A few people mentioned Primanti Brother's in Pgh, but what about the O? O fries are the best drunk food ever!
