**T** he really surprising thing is how much variety a thread of alphabetical posts is. You would think we’d have done everything by 37, and yet here we are. ---

**V** ery rare, but you occasionally run across a pizza shop that offers cheese steak as a pizza topping. You can also find it as a filling for stromboli. ---

**Z** ounds! That moves Phildelphia to the top of my “to visit” list at the moment. All the history AND a Philly cheese pizza. **A** vote for having a whole cheesecow. ---

**E** ating cheesesteaks in Ben Franklin’s house would be particularly fun – let us know when you’re coming, **Osiris** , and **Watcher** and I will take you on a culinary tour. (Soft pretzels at Betsy Ross House – Tastycakes at the Mummer Museum – what am I forgetting, **Watcher**?) ---

**F** orget the soft pretzels at the tourist spots, go to the best (and cleanest) vendor in town at 13th & Walnut. And for cheesesteaks, we could have a long debate about this but I’d take **Osiris** to Jim’s at 4th & South. And for tourism’s sake there’s the Italian market, the Kimmel Center, Franklin Institute, etc. ---

**G** reat culinary delights abound also at Reading Terminal Market. Oh, and if it’s warm out we can’t forget to stop for water ice at John’s (8th & Christian). [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a/150850.md?page=170) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a/150850.md?page=172)
