i have mad respect for them picking the roast pork broccoli rabe with prov for PA over the cheesesteak, but they picked a terrible spot for it. gotta go johns or nicks.

i prefer vinegar based barbecue, but i'm a little surprised they didn't at least mention that there are multiple styles.

that's probably because it tastes better.

I would eat all of them.

The pork-rabe sandwich is a great sandwich.

LA people, I've still not yet had a proper Los Angeles french dip. Does Philippe's live up to the hype?

did you end up getting a sandwich in the south bay a couple months back?

i like the place, don't get me wrong, it's just a gimmick choice. there are institutions built around that sandwich all over the city, and the one in the tourist spot wouldn't be my pick, especially from the zagat people. maybe i'll have to go order it again tomorrow to really make my mind up.

nick's is this super grimy dive bar down a few blocks from my house that is probably the most famous one in the city, and still my favorite.

Nah, the timing didn't work out. I ended up at Killer Shrimp. Don't judge.

I love both styles. Which is why Midway/Carolina/whatever they serve in the middle of the state is the best. Vinegar + ketchup. So good.

Although I guess that could just be considered Lexington style.

My grandfather used to auctioneer at the tobacco market in Owensboro, KY. We have always made a version of the hot brown with thanksgiving leftovers. So good.
