Thats like saying Delaware ( where I live ) has GREAT mountains for skiing........lol
I can't really talk cheesteaks cuz I'm vegan, but we do have some nice mountains and great snow... I will say, Milwaukee has the best "Phamous Philly"
For someone who still hasn't tried Rita's when you were here in Philly/South Jersey and for someone who doesn't eat meat (that's what she said), dont go there with shows in Philly!! Next time you show up at my door, see if you get to swim and wash your clothes because PJ is in PHILLY!!
and yes to Red Rocks (assuming the wifey and I have a place to crash somewhere near LoDo...)
i much prefer geno's over pats any day...just had pat's last week and i almost went across the street to geno's to wash the taste of crap outta my mouth
it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

I'll be seeing you soon, get that pool ready! My pool is def ready as well, fridge is stocked, I'm about a 10 minute WALK from Lodo, you can meet Redeyes too!

I met Patrick in San Diego last year for EV remember? I cant tell if he is coming to Philly but it sounds like he has alternate plans. BOO!!
seriously tho, i think we all know why pj hits up the NE so often, b/c they KNOW they can sell out multiple nights in the same city, np. it's a populous and rabid fanbase. this is not to say it's home to the best fans or any such nonesense.....just that there are a shit-ton of us here. pj IS a business, and they go where they can make $$$. i am sure they do try, or want to, hit up markets where they know they have fans, but maybe to a lesser degree....but it's all logistics.
that said, i would LOVE for pearl jam to play red rocks!!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
the venue looks spectacular, i would love to experience it, and pearl jam @ red rocks would absofuckinlutely make it soooo worth the trip!
no, seriously, there is a shop here called "Taste of Philly" and people swear they are as good as Pats or the one across the street...
That right there is their first mistake. Pat's and Geno's cheesesteaks are terrible. So saying you're as good as a terrible tourist trap does not mean you make good cheesesteaks.

I have one 2 blocks from my house that I eat at least twice a week. Way better than Geno's or Pat's. You need to go to John's roast pork when in Philly to get the best!! South Philly here in Denver is pretty good as well.

I know this guy actually - well, not personally. I'm sure it's close but it's not the same thing. Trust me. I know some people who did the same thing in Tampa, L.A., Vegas and New Orleans(this one being the best tied with Tampa), and they all come somewhat close but it's not the same.
And for those coming to Philly for a cheesesteak. Go to Pat's for the tourist trap since it is a good touristy thing to do. But once you're done with all that nonsense go to John's Roast Pork. They're only open till 3 though(I think).

Geno's is absolutely the worst, but I can deal with Pat's. If I get the heart-attack then I can handle it.

I live 2 blocks from there and the only reason I ever go there is if some tourist from out of town wants to go the famous Pat's and Geno's.
Cosmi's around the corner from me is 10 times better.
i REALIZE THAT BEING FROM THE AREA TOO.......BUT IVE NEVER HAD A BAD CHEESESTEAK IN PHILLY....
To me, my system rating works like this; "Good Cheesesteak" & "Bad Cheesesteak." Sure, there are certain ones that fall in the echelon of just being amazing, but for the most part there is just the good and the bad. Jim's and Geno's are bad. Phil's, Pat's, Sonny's, JRP, Cosmi's, Doc's Deli are good. I HAAAATE, absolutely hate when they mince the meat up into saw dust like Jim's and hate it when they leave slabs of meat like steak-ums like Geno's.
i REALIZE THAT BEING FROM THE AREA TOO.......BUT IVE NEVER HAD A BAD CHEESESTEAK IN PHILLY....
Went there two weeks ago with a friend in town from Denver for a wedding. This was his steak with extra cheese:
Definitely pretty poor quality in my book.
Not at 4 in the morning when your drunk. I'm sorry but the best cheesesteak in the world at 4 in the morning(and not just because they're 24 hours) is Pat's or Phil's - I LOVE Phil's though.
not to highjack PJTaper's thread about Red Rocks but how come no one says Tony Luke's?
I like their other sandwiches there. Love their chicken cutlet and roast pork. Never had a cheesesteak from there.
Rating of Good Cheesesteak. It's definitely a good one, so is Talk of the Town. But when I go to Tony Luke's I go for the roast pork. WHICH, by the way, is just as much a Philadelphia delicacy as the cheesesteak.
