Yeah Blooming Onions are fucking good. If you're looking for a Blooming Onion on the cheap and quick White Castle has onion petals and their dipping sauce is very similar as well.

Worst, and I mean the worst cheesesteak I ever had was at a Philly's home game. They basically took unseasoned ground beef, 2 slices of kraft square cheese, and crammed it into a stale bread bun. No onions, no green peppers, etc. One of the most disappointing food experiences of my life. The fuckin thing was like $11 also.

I won't try to defend it, only to say it just wasn't my thing. Cheese Fries were / are my go to.

Never been there, but there is one in the city not too far from me. I'll have to check it out next time I see a show at the Independent.

My one visit to Philly I was taken to a small Cheesesteak place at 2AM that was near a catholic college of somesort. It was my roomate's favorite place for cheesesteaks and I had given him shit for years about him ordering cheesesteaks and being disappointed because really how much different could such a thing be?
After devouring this cheesesteak I had to immediately apologize to him because it was simply transcendent and made me realize why he had been searching all over the midwest for a suitable surrogate.
From doing a bit of GoogleFu with GoggleEarth I *think* it might have beenSteak Restaurants - Philadelphia, Pennsylvannia - Larrys Steaks

So there is this chain of Philly Cheesesteak places around the midwest called Pepperjax Grill
Entrees - PepperJax Grill - Americas Best Philly
One opened by me last year, I go in to check it out. Their unique deviation is that they cook your cheesesteak right in front of you, like a sub shop would assemble your sandwhich. Big, hot grill right on the other side of the sneeze-guard plastic and line of customers. They have what they call a "fireball" cheesesteak, where they douse your philly meat in jalapeno and habanero juice while they cook it.
So to make a long story short, place just opens, is kinda slow, staff doesn't really know what they are doing yet, but the place is packed, huge line of people. I get up to order, order my cheesesteak fireball-style, and the doofus manning the piping-hot grill(right in front of a large line of people, mind you) sprays like half the bottle of the pepper juice onto the hot grill...WAY too much, and it all vaporizes immediately from hitting the hot grill and basically peppersprays the entire line of customers. People start screaming, running away, coughing, choking, etc. My eyes are watering like I just got maced, and I'm having trouble breathing, I had to walk out of the place and get some fresh air. I went back and got my damn sandwich though. The manager came out of the back after hearing the commotion and comped everyones food that was in line. Good times.

Do you guys have Penn Station's where you're around? Sounds pretty similar sans the pepper spray in a bottle. But you can watch your sub made. Penn Station is actually pretty fucking good IMO. Go with either the pizza or the cheesesteak.

It was actually really good, I've been back probably half a dozen times since in the past year. I make sure to stand outside the blast/fallout radius every time I order a fireball though, just in case, I've learned my lesson.
I had to change out my disposable contacts when I got home after that first incident, my eyes were still red and irritated, I think my contacts got covered with the pepper vapor/spray
There is one in the general metro area, but it's a good 30-40 minutes away from where I live and work, so I've never been there. I've heard good things though from friends that work near it and go there for lunch

So I went to KFC tonight with a hardcore biscuit craving. The place was packed and after I grabbed my food and was walking away with my chicken fingers and biscuits, I heard the nice hispanic lady telling the guy behind me in line that they were all out of biscuits.

I've hated Pringles my entire life. Something about the taste and aftertaste is just bad. However I bought Buffalo Ranch pringles and they are so goddamn delicious. I don't know if they're new or have been out for 20 years.

I believe they are one of the newer flavors; but I swear that I saw them years ago when they started introducing a ton of new flavors.
I worked at an Eckards (now CVS) photo lab in college and decided to try ranch pringles one day. Ate the first one and thought I had died it tasted so bad. Realized that I had accidentally picked up Salt and Vinegar since the tubes are almost the same color. Finished the chips because I was hungry. Salt and Vinegar are now my favorite chips.
Man I've been on a Popeye's crave lately. I may have to get it this weekend. Its so fucking good.
