Philadelphia: 10 Amazing Hoagies You Should Eat

What about Salumeria in the Reading Terminal Market? They make a wonderful hoagie. Try one with 'everything' - that will include their wonderful marinated artichokes!

Anyone Else Like Pork Roll?

Growing up in metro Philly, I ate this stuff all the time. They used to have it on the school lunch menu. I still eat it, even though I'm in Georgia. Public sells it here, both in the deli and in the box, right where the bacon is. Love pork roll on a bun with mustard.

Is the Customer Always Right?

The customer is NOT always right, but they are always the customer. That being said, I believe the chef has the right to serve the food as he wants to prepare it. Of the customer doesn't like it, offer something else. If they're still being difficult, who cares - they would never be a repeat customer anyway. Some people just don't want to try new things. I pity their lack of food curiosity and diversity. Let them eat McDonalds.

Which celebrity chef is more "Celebrity" than Chef?

All the Food Network "chefs" are more personalities than actual chefs. IMO, if you have your own TV show, you're not a chef - you're an entertainer. Real chefs are too busy actually cooking to be on TV.

Have you ever just been completly insulted preparing a meal?

This reminds me of when I spent all day making lasagna for my boyfriend. Sauce from scratch, hand grated cheeses, etc. My boyfriend turned up his nose at it, proclaiming that his mother's is so much better because she puts cottage cheese in hers. Of course, I used ricotta.

Needless to say, the relationship did not last.

Etiquette for Eating on Planes/Trains/Buses

I think this is ridiculous. You should be able to eat whatever you want. I mean, no one is banning people with body odor - that's the same thing. What about people with bad breath that insist on talking to you. Or those who may consume - as a part of their diet - foods that you can smell on them? What about people who drink a lot of alcohol and you can smell it when they sweat? What about people with gas?

Can we also ban screaming children while we're at it?

If I take a flight and want to bring a nice sub on board to eat, so be it. If you can't stand bad smells, stay off the airplane or go first class.

How do you brew your coffee?

I used to be a french press user, but recently switched to a Keurig. We've had excellent coffee, with no fuss, ever since.

Ooey Gooey Butter Cake

I grew up in suburban Philadelphia and I was under the impression that butter cake was a regional specialty from there. I think the recipe was created before there even was a St. Louis.

If done correctly, a butter cake is a gift from the gods.

Cook the Book: 'The Best Soups in the World'

We picked up a boneless duck breast at the local farmer's market and imagine our surprise when we defrosted it and found two whole duck breasts! Had one for dinner Friday night and then last night used the other for some udon soup with duck. It was fabulous, enriched with duck demi-glace and chock full of veggies. Wow, it's making me hungry just remembering it...

Cookout Etiquette

When I entertain I try to provide everything necessary for everyone to have a good time. Since I'm the host, I plan the menu and I don't want someone to bring something that may not "go" with what I'm already preparing. Some of my friends are pretty lousy cooks, and heaven forbid they bring something nasty that my other friends will think I made. I definitely don't want to tell people that they need to bring something specific, which I think is just rude. It's my party and I was brought up to think that whomever did the inviting paid the bill, so to speak.

If people insist on bringing something, I tell them to bring some beer or wine that they like to drink.

Sunday Brunch: Ina Garten's Hashed Browns: Best Ever?

These are actually home-fries in my neck of the woods - hash browns are shredded potatoes, not cubed.

That being said, the best hash browns, IMO, are the ones made from the leftover potatoes from a pot roast. This give them a real extra flavor kick. If you don't have any, you can almost get the same effect by cooking the potatoes in some beef stock or bouillion. Almost, but not quite.

One you have these yummy potatoes, proceed with recipe above.

I've lost my taste for chicken, I think

I felt the same way until I started buying Poulet Rouge chickens - they have them in Whole Foods here in Georgia. They actually taste like chicken is supposed to taste.

Yum!

Adventures in Shoo-Fly Pie

I agree with most posts - the peanut butter is just wrong. Coming from good PA Dutch stock, I know that no one - and I mean no one - would ever think of such a thing. While you may enjoy adding the peanut butter, in my opinion it is not longer shoo fly pie once you do it.

But that's just my opinion...I believe in variation. But please don't call it shoo fly pie...
