With the Eagles’ playoff seed locked in and the season’s final game being meaningless, my wife and I took advantage of a free Sunday afternoon to venture out to a pizza and sandwich shop that has been on my radar for a while. Pop’s Pizzeria of Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, has been receiving its fair shareContinue reading “Juicy as Jaye P. Morgan”

Revisiting a Genuine South Philly Legend
The weather gods finally smiled upon me Friday when it stopped raining in South Philadelphia just in time to go forward with my intended lunch at John’s Roast Pork, which has very limited indoor seating. They are the last of the steak shops from my top ten cheesesteaks list that I had to revisit inContinue reading “Revisiting a Genuine South Philly Legend”
Goomba’s Delivers Again
Some of you may recall that I’m in the process of revisiting all of the steak shops that made my top ten last year. This is being done in preparation for updating that list to a revised top 20 this coming fall. Holding down the number two spot on the initial list was Goomba’s PizzariaContinue reading “Goomba’s Delivers Again”
Blog Notes: Something Has to Give
It is with a touch of embarrassment that I need to confess to having bitten off more than I can chew. In early February – at the bottom of this post – I committed to surveying the Philadelphia region’s Roast Pork Italiano sandwiches (R.P.I.) while continuing to do the same with cheesesteaks. That was aContinue reading “Blog Notes: Something Has to Give”
My Next Roast Pork – at a Northeast Philly Deli
While I am enjoying my Roast Pork sandwich project, I’ve already concluded that I simply can’t eat those every week like I did with cheesesteaks for roughly a year. The fact that I’m still averaging a steak every 1-2 weeks undoubtedly plays a role in that. There are only so many long-roll sandwiches I canContinue reading “My Next Roast Pork – at a Northeast Philly Deli”
Back on the Roast Pork Italiano Trail
After a couple weeks without one, I was starting to feel just a touch of pressure to get back to my survey of the Philly region’s Roast Pork Italiano sandwiches. South Philadelphia is likely where the sandwich was created and is still home to more of them than any other part of the city orContinue reading “Back on the Roast Pork Italiano Trail”
Another Cheesesteak and Roast Pork Combo
After threatening to do so for the past couple weeks, I finally began revisiting the cheesesteak purveyors that made my top ten list last year. My intent is to put out a revised list that will also be expanded to a top 20 later this year. While I’m continuing to try new steaks, I alsoContinue reading “Another Cheesesteak and Roast Pork Combo”
Two Great Sandwiches – One Great Place
It’s always exhilarating to be blown away by a sandwich that I’m trying for the first time. Saturday’s lunch outing with my wife and in-laws was a true rarity in that I sampled two amazing sandwiches, both at Giacomo’s Italian Market in Quakertown, PA, which is in northwestern Bucks County – placing it just insideContinue reading “Two Great Sandwiches – One Great Place”
Back to A Cut Above Deli for a Roast Pork Italiano
It’s only been a little over a month since I wrote about the magnificent Italian hoagie I had from A Cut Above Deli in the western Philly suburb of Newtown Square, PA. As part of that post, I mentioned a desire to return there soon to try one of their hot sandwiches. And in theContinue reading “Back to A Cut Above Deli for a Roast Pork Italiano”
Lil’ Nick’s Deli: Moving On to the Roast Pork Italiano
After two-plus weeks on a light diet I was extremely excited about eating something I could blog about Thursday. While I still wasn’t quite ready to dive into a cheesesteak, there is another sandwich with a large following in the Philly area on which I’ve been wanting to write, and this seemed like the perfectContinue reading “Lil’ Nick’s Deli: Moving On to the Roast Pork Italiano”
