I have to stop typing about it or I'm going to get a boner at work.

Firstly, a real Philly steak tastes best with cheez whiz. Now I know many of you out there will disagree because its "not real cheese". But hey, thats just how we do it here, do not judge... just try it. You will not be disappointed. Lastly, Jims? Ok, Jims is excellent.. i will not argue that. But of the three main steak staples in the city I would have to argue that Pat's is the better option. Next time you're in Philadelphia come down to Pats steaks (its right across from Geno's..and Genos cannot be missed on account of the whole place being covered in neon lights) and order a "whiz without" .. or whiz with, if you like onions on your steak.

Philly residents know to go a little farther south to either Pat's Steaks or Genos (just watch the movie Rocky and it will make sense). There is a big argument about which one of these powerhouses is better. I say the one with the shorter line is the one you should go to. They're both great.

One update, in my opinion: The best lobster roll is at the North Beach Lobster Shack in California (two locations: Redwood City and SF). Order the "Naked." Simply lobster on a perfectly toasted roll, with butter on the side. Perfection! What a great list!

There are some glaring omissions from the list: all of the South, for one, Chicago, and many other places too numerous to mention. In "Smokey and the Bandit," Sheriff Buford T. Justice blows into the proverbial "choke 'n puke" and swiftly orders a Diablo sandwich (it turns out that's a hot link smothered in sauce on a bun). I desperately want to try that. There's too much good BBQ in the world to have left it all out - I know that. The bottom line is I took it to be a favorites list, but editors will do what they will. Besides, they could've at least coughed up a check and let me travel a bit to sample some of the greats that didn't get posted! For those of you, however, who doubt the excellence represented here: doubt not. New York is a foodie's paradise. You can get just about anything here, especially if you know what you're doing. I defy anyone to say that you can't get some of the best food in NYC. Last: I stand definitively behind my #1, the Hot Lob. While the others may stir debate, I've simply never had a better sandwich anywhere, period. Hit me with more suggestions. They are noticed and appreciated - and with any luck, they'll be sampled, too. OK – I have to give it up to those who correctly say the list is not geographically representative.

All I was able to do after the pastrami sandwich was go to a nearby theatre that was hosting a Star Trek convention (GEEK!) and watch 3 hours of Next Generation. Love midnight shawarama at Bereket, but it does not go with Bourbon and body shots at the Coyote Ugly. Cheers, Jess.
