Jim's by open lengths.

What is the consensus -- while we're at it.

Who has the best steaks in Philly?

Who has the best bagels in NYC?

I will be making one more brief cameo in each of these fine cities before years end.

Jim's is certainly the winner for the cheese steak derby.

I know of at least three places that Jim's can't even compare to.

Steve's Prince of Steaks in the northeast, John's Roast Pork in South Philly and Dellasandro's in Manayunk. I know it's a matter of opinion, but these steaks are head and shoulders better than Jim's, which is in itself a far better steak tha Tony Lukes imo.

Steve's has the best cheese fries but the steaks are far from great.

Out of the three they are my least favorite, i only mentioned them first because it was tonight's dinner. John's takes the cake for me.

Correct on the fries, although i go cheese on side bc they dont travel well with cheese on, despite the <5 min drive.

Looking for great wings? Cafe Soho on Cheltenham Ave is THE place, with El Camino Real in NoLibs taking the place spot! Too good.

H&H bagels on 2nd and 80th for me, used to work up there and got awfully fat eating bagels every day.

In Manhattan, Esa Bagel on 1st Avenue and E. 21st street is hands down the best bagel in New York IMO.

Cheesesteak stand for me is Tony Luke's on Oregon. but I go for the Italian Pork Sandwich with aged provolone and broccoli rabe. Great steaks though too.

Ess a Bagel a great recco. Kossar's for bialys. Yonah Schimmel for Knishes.

Damn, Steve, you have the spelling right for Ess-a-Bagel, that is the Italian in me that f***** that up. Great bagel though and worth waiting on what seems like about a 20 minute line all day long.

Ya'll got no culture. Head to southwest Virginia and you can debate which county fair has the best Corndogs and Fried Oreos.

Do you really think Doug knows what Bialys are ? And his his thought on a Knish is well probably something else......lol
The best bagels are probably at just about any Queens place you can find....H& H bagels kinda suck...
