Philadelphia Must Eats

[Holly Moore]

Though I've had a few problems with Philadelphia Weekly's food writing, their staff has put together a interesting list of Must-Eats.

One glaring error - no one builds a better, greasier Rueben than Little Pete's.

good list but, how do they leave off roast pork sandwich at dinics or johns?

Yeah, it kind of feels like they wanted to avoid some of the classics. But on a "must eats" list, aren't the classics part of the point? It's billed as the 50 best things, not the 50 best things you weren't previously aware of.

No Sarcone's, DiNic's, Capogiro? Or did I miss them?

They're right that the Tinto duck montadito deserves the people's ovation and fame forever, but this list won't push me to investigate their suggestions. It leaves me with a "could eats" instead of a "must eats" feel. Then again, maybe I'm just an old fogey before my time who can't get with the vibe of a food article that contains the phrase "stick your dick in the potato salad."

Man that website setup sucks. Nothing like scrolling through 10 pages of mismatched pictures. Anyway, I see that Kanella was the only place to get two nods on the list. Guess they must be doing something right.
