“Press pool aboard reports “thin haze of smoke” was visible and the smell of something burning.”

Did Elizabeth Warren sneak on board and try to send some smoke signals?

Pat’s cheesesteak?

Pat's and Geno's are garbage. Locals don't eat there. Go to a local shop and get a real cheese steak.

Agreed. I’ve Never seen her in anything I thought was unbecoming... but this is a first.
But it just proves no one gets it right 100%of the time.
Michelle obama got it wrong 98% of the time. So there’s that.

Yes! Capogiro's was featured in the Food Network program's "The Best Thing I Ever Ate - Sweets" episode. I forget which chef recommended it.

Its NOT smoke. IMHO its toxic fumes from leaking hydraulic fluid on the hot surface of one of the engines. The hyd. fluid has a anti-wear additive in it that when heated to high temps produces fumes that are drawn into the cabin air system.

Exposure to these fumes can cause severe neurological problems.

Philly, Camden, Chester, Wilmington, and Baltimore make the mid Atlantic I-95 corridor shithole collector set.

Don't forget DC and Richmond.

Tony Luke's on Oregon Avenue: absolutely da best.


Cheesesteak


Italian Roast Pork

Last time I was there I had the roast pork with greens and gobbled up the whole thing, and I'm a little old lady. Simply scrumptious.

Smack in the middle of the Center City "gayborhood." Yes, gelato. No, no cheesesteaks.

Under I-95 is a fine place to eat.

Anyone traveling on 1-95 can exit at Packer Avenue, drive one block north to Oregon Avenue, park in Tony Luke’s lot, eat a to-die-for hoagie, and get right back on I-95.

I know, I know. I lived in Philly decades ago. See my comment #20. The criteria for me...the shop had to be good but close. When I lived on Bustleton Ave, there was a hole-in-the-wall within walking distance. In Bensalem Township, I drove...but just down the street.

Mmmm! Those look delicious. I might have to take a slight detour on my way to DE for Thanksgiving.
