Oh I agree. They’re good! I think Tony Luke’s is better :) But no one can make them like my mom did :)

ah, the Italian Pork sandwiches, the best ever sandwich.

All this south philly food talk has me wanting a texas wiener from the shop on 15th and Snyder. I haven’t been there in years. Is it still there? Texas weiner with the works. We had it most Saturdays for lunch for many years.

Sounds wonderful!

Here in Seattle we don't have a 'killer takeout food' tradition....it's mainly the big chains that are everywhere else. The closest thing to a 'local tradition' we've got is Dick's

Dicks Drive In Restaurant

They're good burgers, shakes and fries, but that's pretty much it. 

Most of the food, as well as the politics around here are pretty pathetic, unless you want to go to a nice sitdown restaurant.  We have exactly ONE Italian bakery here

Borracchini's Bakery - A Historic Seattle Bakery - Home

but whenever I've gone there they are out of cannoli, and it's in a crummy part of town and staffed by kids from the 'hood who don't know anything.  Sad.

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.
