Pats in in Italian Market is the ONLY place to have a cheesesteak. Period. Everything else is ... well... everything else. And as far as "soft" pretzels... there is nothing soft about them. They are chewy, hard and different no matter where you get them. That's what makes them what they are. Get them from someone on a corner holding up a brown bag, or at a corner store. The best I have ever had, can be found at the horrible Pennsauken Mart... preferably on a busy Saturday or Sunday afternoon. They are red hot and the best. Again... if you don't eat them within 2 hours... they turn into rocks. ~§pyder~ ----- Original Message ----- From: David H.

And it's not travelling logistics I'm dreading, it's getting-people-together-and-vaguely-organized logistics. bleah. dha -- David H.
