Pesos used to be made of silver...
Aww jeeze I’m with ya there.
So did dollars...
Egg slut?
I once had a Porchetta sandwich in Rome which was one of the best food-memories in my life
I could be talked into taking a trip back to Italy just to have another.
“Jersey Mike’s”
Never had a good hoagie from a chain.
Back in the day (60’s/70’s — ugh!) there were literally hundreds of sandwich shops in and around Philly with distinctive fare, all of them better than anything you can find today, with perhaps a couple exceptions. They’d open at 11:00 and close at 2:00. When the factory workers disappeared, the shops disappeared, and nobody remembers how to make a good sandwich.
The first rule of a good hoagie or cheese steak is it must not be messy. The ‘salad’ must be dry, and the oil should be on the bread where it will stay. No dripping. The roll must enclose everything (and there should be a LOT of ‘everything’). The big messy sandwich style came from the Jewish delis I think — open faced sandwiches with ‘too much’ stuff on them.
—end rant—
There was a little narrow, hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Philly on Chestnut Street back in the late 60’s that had the very best Philly Cheese steak the world has ever seen...(It ain’t a real Philly Cheese steak if it ain’t from Philly)
[I’m pretty sure that $80 for lunch in Tokyo is not the least bit unusual. Ever been there? Yikes!!]
Had a hot Pastrami with Provolone cheese the other day. Remarkable combo. A good Sammich can make your day.
It looks good!
Polish sausage, swiss cheese, rye, mustard and a dill pickle (I prefer no pickle and add the peppers on them that you see in the egg jar). For the same money you can get 24 of these bad boys!
Go to your nearest Lawsons and get the egg salad fer Pete’s sake!
I feel the same way about steak y fritz in France.
Yep probably more like 20 dollar lunch to us
I know, they still have Lawsons in Japan!
Hell yeah!
Nah...I’m good with a PB&J sandwich.
I’ll save the $82 to buy a 50-round box of 22LR.
Cool. I make great PB&J’s and they only cost $50 bucks. Delicious off the shelf and a loaf of soft white bread( heated perfectly to room temperature and served on a one of a kind collectors paper plate signed by chef Karliner.
...someone’s been to Japan.
