herb, can you make it?

nope. sorry. i'll join katie and anyone who wants to swing down this way for one.

bleu, rouge, or any of the bars that serve stuff a step above normal bar food would be good (standard tap, royal tavern, bishop's collar, new wave cafe, etc.)

If someone wants to give me a ride....

Oh yes! Come play with us in Philadelphia! It's a day trip in that direction too!

We can eat burgers, and Herb and I will show you around. We can run up the steps of the Art Museum a la Rocky to work off the burgers and work up an appetite for whatever other Philadelphia delights you'd wish to sample on a day trip. A stop at Reading Terminal Market is fun, or a swing by the Italian Market could be amusing as well. A stop a La Colombe coffee for a mid-afternoon espresso to get us recharged might be appropriate. I'm not so sure that burgers and cheesesteaks on the same trip is a wise decision. I'll leave that up to you... :biggrin:

I will run up the steps of the Art Museum a la Rocky if you first drink a dozen eggs. :biggrin::blink:

Sorry, Elyse. Official rules dictate that the "tourists" drink the Salmonella cocktail. :biggrin:

Besides, I'm not a tourist, I'm a burger hunter.

Burger Hunter. Hmmm... I see a new FoodTV series in the works!

I kind of like Burger Huntress myself! :wink:

i'm wondering how bad that would be. tried my first raw egg last week. wasn't that big a deal.

a dozen? maybe one of these days. not enough incentive tho.

Was Pop Burger mentioned? I don't notice it. Has anyone tried it? That's Roy Liebenthal's new place in the meatpacking district. Should this guy be totally dismissed? His other place (Pop?) blows.

My Aunt Gladys used to call it "toilet talk". :shock:

BTW, Molly's is one of my burger standardbearers. I also love J.G. Melon @ 1291 3rd Ave (corner of 3rd and 73rd or 74th). My wife and I will try to make it on the 11th. Should we get a head count at some point so we can warn the good folks at Molly's Pub & Restaurant, Shebeen?
