Cranberry, PA. Snowed out

After Philly, we hit up Washington D.C. Nothing notable food wise as we were in the suburbs and busy beyond belief catching up on work. Mostly coffee and pastries and fast food.

We made our way past Pittsburg , PA and were determined to make a good go of things. When we were about 20 miles past Pittsburg, we watched a series of cars spin out into the ditch and realized we weren't really in the mood to die, so we pulled off in a little rest stop town called Cranberry.

I had a bunch of work to do, so I asked the guys to get me a simple turkey sandwich.

What I got was absurd... yet tasty. A turkey sandwich with french fries AND cole slaw! A Pittsburg Sandwich it was called.

At first, I was horrified by the concoction, but as I too a bite, I was very pleasantly surprised! Efficient and economical!

Philadelpphia. February 2009

So, after 2 hours of sleep in NYC, we pack up and move on to Philly. We had 2 stops at VW dealerships today, but the guys at the first dealership said we couldn't leave until we'd had cheesesteaks at the place that beat Bobby Flay in a throwdown.

Enter Tony Luke's. The cheesesteaks were good, but not the greasy mess I was expecting from Philly. The Italian peppers in oil and vinegar were fantastic though. Also... the garlic cheese fries! The garlic cheese fries!
