I ate at Pat's about 2 years ago and was disappointed. My cheese steak was lukewarm because they piled cooked steaks off to the side and used those for the sandwiches instead of giving you a steak hot off the grill. I heard that they were much better years ago.
Never did try Geno's, however, I don't know why those people such as "epices6" find it 'racist' to insist on ordering in English. I thought this was supposed to be America we live in where everyone should learn to speak English! It's because of bleeding heart liberals such as "epices6" that Spanish is on just about every item we purchase. What A Disgrace!!
By far, the best Cheesesteak I had in Philly is at a place around the corner from Pat's and Geno's called Cosmi's Deli. I found out about it from Frommer's or Foder's Philadelphia guide. It was from a local columnist in Philly who had sampled cheese steaks from about 60 different establishments in the Philly area, including Pat's and Geno's, and said that Cosmi was the best he tasted.

Just googled and it said closed December 2007 :(

I have been searching all over trying to find where to get a coconut custard pie in NYC. You mention it above but then decline to name a place! please help!

Maybe they are getting this total by serving Swanson's Frozen Turkey TV dinners to the guests.

I just went to a pre-Thanksgiving dinner and brought along a salad with homemade salad dressing. I spent about $25 on all the ingredients! Admittedly, I didn't use all of the oil, vinegar, etc., but I can't imagine serving 10 people for such a small amount of money.

What kind of turkey do you get for $1.19/lb?

Thank you Wally East. Even though it appears that it won't take.

My turkey works out to be around 30 bucks alone.
Except, for our big day 2 years ago. My best friend and I always do Thanksgiving together and split work. I ordered a bone-in turkey breast from Whole Foods and he went to pick it up. I didn't ask the price, and when he went to pick it up it was 110 dollars. I wouldn't have bought it but he did, bless his heart. My grandma said everytime someone'd take a bite, she'd think "There goes 5 dollars". I'm thinking my dinner for 10 will be closer to $300.

Yum, Grand Traverse Pie Company. My sister works there and will be bringing us some type of fruit pie for thanksgiving. My mom is the pie maker in the family and will be making pumpkin and cherry pies made with Michigan cherries of course. I have been watching and helping her bake pies for years but I have a long way to go before mine taste as good.

A Yura's update for Foodboy and everyone else. Yura is no longer making a ready to bake pie. It's very disappointing, but her fully baked apple pie is really good. I will miss that perfumed apple smell. Foodboy wanted to know about the Yura-partner split. I spoke to Yura and she said that she was only associated with the store at 92nd and Madison. I would stick to that location if possible. I haven't had anything at the 92nd and Third Ave. former Yura location, now called Corner, so I can't vouch for its food.

You do have the right number of pies, thank heavens. As one against coconut in general, I'd replace coconut custard with plain custard. Cherry-peach is an intriguing combination.

We used to always go to my Aunt Ginny's for T'Giving. She had an extensive pie repertoire, but on this holiday it was always a choice of pumpkin, mincemeat or cherry.

I always had "a little piece of each?"
