SHAME SHAME on this person for doing this!! ( & request for rumor control)

What I don't understand is why we're not discussing Philly Cheesesteaks in this thread. Best hot sandwich ever. Would love to hear about some interesting variations (maybe with bacon?), but I am partial to the classic version, although the bun must be freshly toasted for me.

I believe there is a whloe thread dedicated to the Philly cheesesteak….
 
I came over here because of the debate and snide comments regarding the alleged parent at church on the fb forums, which I personally have not seen confirmed. Honestly , I keep in my own lane most of the time , and after paying 270 bucks for a photo package where I have seen probably three pictures total of my plebe , the best pics I’ve gotten of her have been from parents who are “stalking” the yard and have shared on the parent pages . Not a fan of Philly cheese steaks , best hot dog is Nathan’s on the Coney Island boardwalk and if you want to talk pizza , Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn and VIP in Queens . And most of all thank you for the advice from the more experienced parents on this page ,aside from their culinary preferences .
 
Lived in Europe for a while and brought back this observation about sandwiches:

There, they emphasize the bread. A bit light on the meats, and the main (even only) condiment is butter. The sandwiches aren’t very big, and can be easily and gracefully eaten while waking. The sandwich is usually served solo.

Here, we emphasize the meats. The bread tends to be pedestrian. We lard the sammies with all kinds of condiments (including, in some parts surely, lard) and other accoutrements. It’s usually best eaten sitting down, lest we end up with stuff on our shirts. The meal wouldn’t be complete without a bag of chips and an XL soda.

Not judging either way. There’s a time and place for everything. But interesting differences.

(Some of the best sandwiches I’ve had abroad: porchetta and arugula in Italy, fried fish in Turkey, classic jambon beurre in France. Never tried a currywurst in Germany, but I hear they’re good.)

Last semester, I had a student presentation on the wonders of L&B Spumoni Gardens Pizza which convinced me to try it and it is indeed one of the best I've ever had.
No question or debate, Nathans makes a superior dog and while I do like to make my own at home, the Coney Island site adds to the overall experience.

I also grew up eating it all the time. Central Jersey near New Brunswick. Mom from Wilkes-Barre and Dad from Pittsburgh.

I live in the Chicago suburbs now and recently a new restaurant opened with this as a lead lunch option. All the positive comments led me to believe that fried bologna is not a thing here in the midwest.

I wonder if fried bologna is a regional food item. I grew up eating it all the time but haven't ever heard anyone else mention it.

My guess is it's not regional, more of a cheap meal thing that applies universally. I have family that ate that that are spread across the country. That and Chip beef.

Speaking of... how many eat salmon patties. I grew up on them, but yankee DW thought I was making crap up when I described them.
