Eatin' siders, drinking Dogfish Head IPA and rooting for the Giants.

A nice filet mignon is a fantastic thing.

on toast rounds with a bit of soft goat cheese

Porterhouse

The first time I had North Carolina barbeque.

A fantastic burger, and a very weird scene. The place is mobbed, and you have to be at a table to order. (You can't eat at the bar.) This means that you have to get there early to get on line, or hover around waiting for a table to open up. When we were there someone offered to buy us a round if we'd give our table to her group when we left-- this is apparently a fairly standard offer.

I'd go back in a minute.

Amoroso's rolls are what distinguishes a true Philly cheesesteak. I've never seen anything close to it outside the City of Brotherly Love. That said, it has always seemed to me that the sandwich needs something more than just onions and Wiz. Tabasco would amount to heresy, but I like the look of that pepper relish.

Porterhouse-- the king of steaks!

Am I right that this is basically sloppy joes with cornbread dumplings? Where's this from, Rachel Ray?

Pearl Street is a good choice for a lot of things-- the burgers are good, as are the wings. The beer is outstanding. It is near the ballpark and the hockey arena, so it is ideal for pre-and post game visits pretty much all year. You chose well.

Wow, misread the rules, thought you were asking for a book.

Breaded wings? No, no, no.
