During my last month in Philly I tried to eat out as much as I could. I managed to visit it to Talula's Table, Amada, Distrito, Vetri, Zahav and Savona. As much as I love upscale dining, that's not all that Philly has to offer.
Saturday I made it to my favorite hoagie place in South Philly: Lombardi's. I just have a feeling that Western Massachusetts is going to disappoint me in the hoagie department - big time. Who knows what they even call them up there?
While I usually get the VIP, a more traditional Italian, I decided to get my Dad's favorite: the Italian Inferno. The usual Italian, but with shooters (provolone stuffed hot peppers). As I devoured this gloriousness in my car outside the hoagie shop, I was reminded that the Philly food scene really has it all.
So worry not, between the people and the food, I know I'll be making quite a few trips back to Philly.

Grinders!!!! We call them grinders up there, bitch :)
F*cking grinders. You can be like me and refuse to call them by the name.
But liquor stores are called Packys (for package store) -which is something I do keep in my vernacular to this day.
Good luck with the move, Gina, and blog on.
I will never call them grinders Ash! Sorry!
And do I have to call liquor stores packys? I don't know about that either...
Thanks David, I'll be sure to keep up with the blog somehow! Cheers!
