When your psrents name you Ichabod, you know things aren't going to turn out well.
Best of your best - Your Top 25
Hello.
Something light for a change...
As we all know, each region does certain things best. Whether it be chicken wings in Buffalo or bratwurst in Milwaukee or cool cars and hot girls in Southern California.
What does your area do the BEST??? This could have been a Top 10 list, but a lot us would have more, so why not go all the way to 25?
In Philadelphia, we are tops for:
1) Hoagies - you call them submarines or heroes
2) Cheesesteaks - but you already knew that
3) Pizza - thin crust, and traditional toppings
4) Soft pretzels - no doubt, and one of my weaknesses
5) Italian water ice - fruit flavored ice, NOTHING can cool you down faster on a hot day. You'll still be cool even an hour or two later on a humid 95 degree East Coast day
6) Macaroni and gravy - you call them spaghetti and meatballs
7) Fishcakes - as opposed to crabcakes which belong to "Balteeeeemore"
8) Pierogies - heaven from Poland/Ukraine
9) People with "addytood" - as if I haven't shown it here
10) Jersey girls - BIG hair!
11) Rowdy sportsfans - the Broad Street Bullies are still our favorite team
12) The South Jersey Shore - we say "down the shore"
13) Ben Franklin - would have been a MAJOR audiophile
14) Rocky - YO Adrian!!!
15) Frankie Avalon - well, before he got to those California beaches
16) Bobby Rydel - the one who stayed
18) Warren Zevon - your adopted city REALLY misses you
19) John Coltrane - as above
20) Gamble and Huff - The Philly Sound
21) The Fresh Prince - now he's Will Smith
22) Pat Croce - a real Philly guy - see addytood again
23) Grace Kelly - Princess Grace to us
24) Yo - yes, you guys took that word - a greeting, a question, an exclamation
25) Yous - fills the English language's need for the plural form of you. No, you guys didn't steal that one, because you hate it so
When you come to Philly, make sure you try everything on the list. And, when I visit your town, I am going to try my best on your list. Thank you!
