Line at Pat's

In Philadelphia there are cheesesteaks. Today, I had them for the second time at Pat's King of Steaks. Jeremy was kind enough to haul me around after visiting his church.

In this picture, you can see the lineup to order (wit or witout) the beef bricks slathered or insulated with cheese. Across the street, there's another line at Geno's Cheesesteaks. You gotta give Geno's credit for building competition directly across the street from the originator of this east coast yummy.

Clearly, they're not hurting for business.

Did you know Wal-Mart sells sandwiches?

I didn't either, but now I do. Living out of a hotel room in Philadelphia is strange enough and I honestly don't feel like a daily diet of eating alone at Chili's or Logan's is the best way to spend my time. I like to eat from the grocery store.

I found one with a salad bar my first night in town. Last night I noticed a Super-Wal-Mart (like Wal-Mart needed to be super-sized in any way). I made my way in and the first things I saw were these sandwiches in the deli.

Now I didn't bring a tape measure or anything, but I'm pretty sure this sandwich was about 20" long. Add mustard and I was tucked in for the night.

I was in Toledo on my way to Philadelphia and I had to jump off at the Front Street exit.
The chilli, the spicy dogs, the even spicier pickles are a magical combination on a cross-country road trip.
