All-You-Can-Eat Restaurants: Great Deal, Or Bad Policy?
My father took me to a Chinese buffet place for my birthday. I did not anticipate having sushi, oysters and Peking duck.

The 10 Worst Lunch Boxes Ever
As a boy, I remember carrying a pink-ish Strawberry Shortcake lunch box and thermos. My grandfather covered the thing with tape. It was metal box which I carried roast pork buns for lunch. I think I still have it.
In Genius Snack Ideas: Frosting On Saltines
I remember I used to eat tortilla chips with peanut butter. There's a nice blend of sweet and salty with that mix.

That looks good.
do you remember elementary school cafeteria food?
I remember the meals were served with sporks and on styrofoam trays with compartments. There was a large silver milk fridge where you walked past to grab one of the small milks - red for whole, blue for skim and brown for chocolate if you were lucky. The food was not particularly memorable.

@simon: agreed but philly takes street food, carts, etc

Whoever did this list, you do realize Philly has a Papaya King too, right?

I doubt that is a Chicago dog - a true Chicago dog has relish, sport pepper, pickle and tomato
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
One other dish where New York beats Philadelphia, crow. New Yorkers will be eating it for a year starting a few games from now.
Meanwhile, Philadelphians will be eating hot dogs as Paesano's http://unbreaded.com/2009/10/29/name-this-phillies-sandwich-at-paesanos/
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
You have some serious reading comprehension issues.
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
@simon: hot dogs are hardly bourgeois dining. Besides, North Jersey beats both cities when it comes to hot dogs. Sabrett originated in Jersey City, N.J. and was usurped by New York. We also have Best's, Thumann's, Schickhaus, and others.
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
That pork roast sandwich looks fantastic.
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
Too bad the Phillies won last night eh?
All-You-Can-Eat Restaurants: Great Deal, Or Bad Policy?
Regardless of right or wrong, the market rules and people choose mass quantities of bad food with their dollars.
I can't disagree with it, but I feel bad when I see obese people going into junk buffet's. Part of me thinks the restaurant is feeding their disease. We don't have all you can drink bars for a reason. Maybe we shouldn't have all you can eat restaurants either.
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
Where NY wins is with bourgeois dining.
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
Sorry, as much as I love NY and the Yankees, Philly wins hands down when it comes to greasy low brow street food. They also have some award winning BBQ pitmasters, and some amazing Peking duck, better than we have in here.
All-You-Can-Eat Restaurants: Great Deal, Or Bad Policy?
Usually I hate buffets, but no one seems to be mentioning the awesomeness that is a well-done BREAKFAST buffet.
I love spending 1-2 hours on a weekend at a nice hotel breakfast buffet, chatting, reading the paper etc. There's not as much stuff to over-gorge yourself on, and it's difficult to get most of the foods horrifically wrong.
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
@Phillip: Tacconelli's is mentioned:
Philly has raised its pizza game with Pizzeria Stella, Slice, and Osteria to augment old-school Tacconelli's and Marra's.
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
Why am I not surprised that the same New Yorkers who are so misguided about their baseball team are myopic(dare I say ignorant) when it comes to food comparisons.
Philadelphia actually invented a whole new style of ice cream.
Any article discussing Philadelphia's pizza that makes no mention Tacconelli's is just ill-informed. This impression is further reinforced by the fact that you basically created the soft pretzel and 'sandwich'(cheesteak) category because they are the two stereotypical Philly foods.
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
If that hot dog is from Shake Shack, then it's from the Mets Citi Field in Flushing, Queens, not from Yankee Stadium.
That Motorino pizza looks sooo good!
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
For, oh so many reasons you got it so wrong. BTW, Chase Utley just hit a homer.....
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
capogiro trups any NYC ice cream... period
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
haha I think tastykakes win over juniors with those newly released photos of mice in the cheesecake cases...
and also- thanks again for the roast pork shout out. in philly yes we've got our cheesesteaks, but the roast pork is carefully crafted.
All-You-Can-Eat Restaurants: Great Deal, Or Bad Policy?
I always eat more than I should and the food is seldom as good as an a la carte order. That said I enjoy ethnic buffets to try to new things and find most places are very helpful in explaining things to an old anglo like me.
Before you commit take a look at the people already sitting down to eat. If you don't mind looking like them go ahead and enjoy.
All-You-Can-Eat Restaurants: Great Deal, Or Bad Policy?
Bad, but for different reasons. I don't think they'll make you fat if you have any self control at all. I think they are a hotbed of germs and disgusting people with few, if any, dining manners at all. The first and last time I went to a buffet restaurant, I saw a little girl stick her grimy hand up to the wrist in the chocolate pudding bin. Blech!! Her mother didn't even chastise her or tell the lady at the counter what she did. When I think of all the people that came along and ate that pudding....I can't even think of going back to a buffet now!
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
Have you seen the DIY Yankees Cupcakes? What a hoot!
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
Of course there's bias as Serious Eats is based in New York, but I'm not fronting... the only place I would go with Philly over is their cheesesteaks are off the hook. I haven't had the pleasure of these pretzels of which you speak.
Yea... go New York!
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
When you mentioned cheesesteaks in a sandwich duo, I thought there's no better sandwich, of course cheesesteaks win. But then I read pastrami on rye. Oh man, hard choice! But I'd still go with cheesesteaks.
