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!

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...

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.

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

Those look delish. Good think you are logging all those miles for those two bad boys. LOL! It's a must when you go there though. Yum!

I personally prefer Pat's across the street, but you really can't go wrong with either!

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!
