I was fortunate to get myself a last second meeting arranged in Northern New Jersey for the end of the week. As it is less than an hour from the account down to Philadelphia, we decided to make an event out of it. Over the years, Ellaine and I have driven down to North Carolina and Washington DC (twice) which has taken us right by Philadelphia. Literally, we could see the skyline and though we kept talking about dipping into the city for a cheesesteak, we never actually did.
That was until Thursday night. We had been steered to Jim's as a better cheesesteak than Pat's or Geno's, but we had to establish a baseline for what was the "best". We decided to try out Pat's for the first time, and were super excited about the meal. We hadn't eaten since lunch and it was a very long drive down, so we didn't sit down until at least 9.The sandwiches we got weren't great, but they were at least filling. The meat was cut pretty thick and they somehow managed to serve a sandwich that was both dripping grease while being incredibly dry.
So we won't exactly chalk this one up as a great success, but I did enjoy the ride on down and loved that I got to explore another new city with my best friend. We'll update you tomorrow for some more fun around the city.
