@texas blues - I dunno, but it's surely less than the number of adults who fail to realize how ridiculous using the term "foo foo" sounds

I hate everyone who hates this.

homogeneity - that is what this comparison needs. Putting eggs in some and duck in another upsets the uniformity of comparison.

On a side note, the photo of the noodles from Food Sing Corp 88 looks like it was prepared 清燉 vs. 紅燒... if that's actually the case, isn't it kind of unfair to call the broth bland? That's kind of what the name suggests.

@Kenji - nah, they have 'em. PYT does a really good thin classic cheeseburger, but most places like to do pub-style grilled burgers (which makes sense, since most places are bar-ish)

@JeffreyP - holy crap you know your potatoes... and fries. I kind of just uh... put them in my mouth? Then I decide if I like them? Haha, I am clearly no expert on fried starch sticks. Definitely learned something today though!

@Erin - gimmicky yes. Totally delicious, also yes. I really like cranberry sauce in sandwiches. It should be a condiment option on everything.

@Rodzilla - to be honest... no. But that didn't detract the experience. It was mostly about the union of poultry, stuffing, gravy, and saaauce.

@jlewfoodie - werd. I'll probably get another one before I leave Philly.

@DavidPD - if turd tastes good...

@Burger365 - haha yeah, good eye. They're an add-on and not at all part of the standard burger, but I've gotten really bored with eating plain cheeseburgers all the time so I've gotten in the habit of adding frivolous toppings. It felt right at the time.

@sdfishtaco no one said it was new. I said it was good, and sorry... I forgot to convene the burger council to discuss what I'd be eating this week. I'll try to avoid that in the future.

ugh, yeah I guess it was a slip-up on my part.

I don't care if I win (nor do I think I'm even supposed to enter...)

but I'm gonna second the Luther Burger - for no other reason than to piss off the burger assholes purists :)

wait wait wait... so I'm paying MORE to get less? I demand they put my pesticides and fertilizers back where they belong.

@suerocks - oh. Good to know not to trust Yelp. Or 90% of the blogs in Philadelphia. Almost all of them were gushing over how great the burgers were... which makes no sense considering how good most of the pub burgers here are.

@Rodzilla - can't erase childhood memories man. I still associate French bread pizza with HS cafeteria pizza, regardless of how good it might be.

I'm gonna assume everyone else is going to list the famous places so I'll leave that off the list... but Steak Queen on Penn's campus makes a cheesesteak marinated in soy sauce for something slightly different.

Aside from that there's the usual suggestions of Jim's and Cosmi's that are worthy of looking into.
