Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
I hate to split hairs but that hot dog on top is clearly a Chicago dog. New Yorkers would never soil a perfectly good hot dog with vegetables (sauerkraut excluded).
Watch It with Us: 'Top Chef Las Vegas,' Ep. 2
@pbelardo My take on Ashley's same-sex tangent (which I'm in favor of btw) was to remember the audience the producers are editing for. Bravo TV has a huge following in the gay population and this was a way to speak to an issue many are concerned with.
Glad Eve is gone, just wasn't a good fit for the show.
Please let's get rid of Jesse. STOP CRYING!

Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
Also, Italian Ice is a pretty good contender against the likes of New York Ice Cream. Fresh Cherry on a hot summer night....

'Top Chef,' Season 6: The Premiere
Thoughts:
-Tom seemed just smitten with Wolfgang; I mean what's not to love about everyone's favorite Austrian.
-I'm pretty sure Jesse is just going to cry in every episode. I could do without.
-Was I the only who thought Hector looks like he flips coins and knows how to use a cattle bolt?
-Where was Toby? Working with choreographers to develop a ZING! dance?
dinner for 12 ideas
Fajitas/Tacos are always easy to scale up to a large group and fairly easy to make.
Video: Johnnie Walker 'I Walk' Ad with Robert Carlyle
Wow, impressive. It works I'm suddenly hankering for a evening with some black label.
RIP 'We Are Happy to Serve You' Coffee Cups?
In my opinion they are one of the most iconic food items in Americana. The link to buy them in bulk is nice but I've longed to find a real supplier selling them in bulk. No luck so far.
Hot Dog of the Week: Flo's Hot Dogs
Flo's makes a great hog dog, I stopped in off season and got to chat with Gail for a good 20 minutes.
My visit to Flo's is up on The Hungry Traveler, http://havestomachwilltravel.com/2009/05/21/flos-hot-dogs-cape-neddick-me/

@beano Five Guys only sells well done.
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
The Papaya King in Philly closed down a few years ago.
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
@simon: agreed but philly takes street food, carts, etc
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
Whoever did this list, you do realize Philly has a Papaya King too, right?
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
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?
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.
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.
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.
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
How did Franny's make it into the same bracket as Patsy's, Di Fara and Totonnos? Motorino, albeit a newcomer, I agree with you on...the pizza we had there about two weeks ago looked exactly like that photo and the photo on Slice...and was just yummm.
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
@hungrytraveler: Aren't onions vegetables? And the onion sauce?
Why didn't anyone mention deserts? Tastykake versus Juniors?
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
I second on the water ice--and despite the fact that it's cold and rainy, I'm now hankering for a mango Rita's right now...
Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series
Yea, yea, whatever. LOL I hate the Yankees and I'm damn proud to say it! I will never root for the AL. NEVER.
