Hope You Didn't Hold Your Breath!

Well, folks - I hope you took my advice and didn't hold your breath waiting for an update. Because if you did you're dead by now and I would lose a follower. Boo hoo! Right now I'm in the Red Carpet Club in Chicago waiting for my flight back to OC, and I thought I would give the blog a quick refresh.

It's been a whirlwind couple of days. A canceled flight on Tuesday got me into Philadelphia at 12:30 AM Wednesday. Lucky for me Geno's is open 24 by 7! I grabbed my car and headed over to 9th and Passyunk for one of my favs - a cheesesteak!


Don't worry Patrick - I still think that a Beef on Weck from Charlie the Butcher's in Buffalo is better. But an original Philly Cheesesteak is a close second!

Here in all it's glory - my Cheesesteak (ordered using two words - "Wiz Wit"):


And my Cheese Fries:


Can you tell this is the heart of America?


Oh - and on my way back to the airport today - guess what?


Another Cheesesteak!
I'll be back home tomorrow. I'll be filing an update from the running front! Thanks for hanging in there!

  1. TECHNICALLY you wouldn't lose a follower in the event of my death, unless someone knew my password and logged on post-mordem to unfollow. But I get the jist of what you're saying. :p

    I love the first photo. Not a big fan of the cheese steak. I think that's our first uncommon food liking. Huh...

  4. When in Rome, ... So, technically, you should eat the Philly cheese steak. They look interesting. I don't think they are available in NL, but I will have a look around.

    Have a safe trip home.

  5. That place looks awesome. I would run there at least once a week if we had a spot like that in Seattle. :)

  10. I've seen that place on the Food Network. Unfortunately that language sign doesn't endear me to them, but I'd try a bite!
