Bigelows is awesome! I've never had the Ipswich fried clam roll, but it will be my first stop next time I'm visiting my parents.

Fightin' Words on Vodka
There is absolutely a difference in Vodkas! But I think the best vodka depends upon what you are going to put in it. Stoli is great for dirty martinis, Ketel One (probably my favorite) is great for fruitier drinks. Well vodka is terrible, and smells like rubbing alcohol, but I think I'll try that Brita Filter, that might do the trick!

I love, love, love, Ben's pastrami. I've been going there at least once a week for the past month. You should look me up next time you're in Rego Park.
I've never been to John's Roast Pork, but I think the roast pork Italian with broccoli rape and sharp cheese is to die for.

I've lived in a couple of places where you can find a great sandwich. Number #1 in my book is in Providence, RI. The Butcher Shop on Elmgrove Ave. In the Brown University area. If you love fresh Turkey Sandwiches with all the fixings then this is the place. They also make fresh Roast Beef from scratch. Fresh baked bread from a local bakery tops off any sandwich they offer.

Not knocking the one's you have listed, but roast beef po' boys are a religion here in the big easy and everyone has an opinion. Parkway is good, but i will bet you would get 10 different answers from 100 people around town. I do not think there is a local who would say "Mother's" however. For me, it is Parasol's in the Irish Channel.
I will give yo Bozo's though. There are other places around town that are just as good, Cassemento's, Crabby Jack's, etc but I do not think you would get into a fist fight about it.

I don't know if it changed my life, but the sandwiches at Sullivan St. Bakery showed me that if you have the right bread, you don't need an overstuffed behemoth for full-impact flavor. The Cuban was so very good with top-notch ingredients doled out in a minimalist kind of way. I didn't even mind that it wasn't pressed because the bread was just right.

I like the "Number One Spicy" at the Italian Deli, Carollo's in our city market. It's a heavenly concoction. Here is the recipe.
Fightin' Words on Vodka
In case of vodka, I always find price doesn't always agree with the taste. I find Stoli taste more of a rubbing alcohol than Sky! I usually dilute the vodka though, vodka redbull, or any fruity sparkly water. However if we're talking about Absolut Peach, I'd take them in any form.

The only vodka I DON'T like is Stolichnaya. If I had unlimited funds, there would be a half-gallon of Ketel One in my freezer. Right now there's a bottle of Georgi.
Fightin' Words on Vodka
This article doesn't prove a point, but it does add support to the argument:
The more expensive the item in question, the more marketing it requires. In the case of Vodka, where there is a less than huge difference between the good and the bad, it takes a lot of marketing to promote a brand as superior to another brand. And I find that the more marketing there is for that brand, the less there is in the brand that I might be actually interested in. If Grey Goose were a better product all around, would they have to spend so much to market it and would they have to target such a small perceived group?
My two cents worth.....
