Cheesesteaks and pretzels...

["Spyder's Empire" <proprietor@spydersempire.com>]

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.

Hmm... I'll stick with Jim's rather than Pat's if I'm going to be
downtown.  The palate Cleansers sound like a good idea.

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