They heard of it - then banned it. They did a McCain-Feingold on it? Great...just great.

All this south philly food talk has me wanting a texas wiener from the shop on 15th and Snyder.My girlfriend tells me that she had many a hot dog off that guys sweaty arm. He used to line up five or so on his left arm and slather mustard and relish with his right. You've got me curious. I'm going to see if it's still there.

The fact that this was even an issue is ridiculous. While "national origin" is covered under antidiscrimination laws, language is not.
The only area where LOTE are protected by the government is in the voting rights act, which mandates that voting materials be provided in a language other than English if a large percentage of the folks in that locality don't speak or read English.

Sounds like one heck of a guy. Yeah. My kind of a guy and it's just too bad that his famous cheese steak isn't sold nationally.

I can't thank you enough for that wonderful article in #64.
Ping to other cheese steak experts in that area.
To: Stentor
Please let me know if you find out.
Yep! We always got the ones with “the works”
I haven’t had one in at least 6 years, maybe more. It’s not exactly on 15th and Snyder. Some little side street I can’t recall at the moment, between 15th and 16th or Broad and 15th.

The owner of this business was just on Lou Dobbs. What an interview! What an American! He ended the interview with God Bless America. If you did not see it, try to catch it on reruns.

You know what is funny.......And you know what else is funny? I can remember savoring a hoagie occasionally at Danny's, THE hoagie shop in our southwest Philly neighborhood, but I don't recall eating cheesesteaks!
Cheesesteaks became a once-a-month or so treat since I left Philly 96 years ago. Well, maybe not quite that long ago!
Eagle Pizza on Haverford Rd. in Ardmore makes my favorite cheesesteak. Maybe another freeper will recommend where to go in Philly for a superb sandwich. I offer the following link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheesesteak
Tip: Let them know you're from out of town, never had a cheesesteak, heard they're great.

Why should the U.S. accommodate any persons who have not yet (or may never) learn to speak, write and understand our English language?
The citizens who welcome these votes, in ANY language, do so in order to implement their own agenda, IMO. Sure, there are some bleeding-heart liberals with altruistic motives, but they are also wrong.

...too bad that his famous cheese steak isn't sold nationally.Not sure I agree with you. Philly's well-known for its cheese steaks, hoagies, scrapple and Tastykakes. Why take away these "sources of pride"? The city has already lost its claim as "The City of Brotherly Love".

The city has already lost its claim as "The City of Brotherly Love". I agree. In recent years that has become rather apparent it would seem.
