8:20 PM (Take out)

Ramona: Turkey and cheese shorti, Lays Classic Chips, Diet Coke, Tastykake chocolate cupcakes

Jim: Ham & Cheese shorti (with extra meat), Wawa pretzel, Snapple Green Tea, Tastykake jelly krimpets

The very best hoagies in Philly! Most of these stores are open 24 hours, and they are always crowded, so the turnover keeps everything perfectly fresh. The rolls they use are superb -- nothing like them in Texas at all. We did not make it to Jim's Steaks this short trip to Philly, but Wawa hoagies are a close second.

My, oh my what we wouldn't give for a Wawa in Waco!

Trip to Philadelphia -- Lunch -- 1/12/08

Wawa #218
6400 Torresdale Ave.
Philadelphia, PA 19135
215-333-6922

12:50 - 1:20 PM

Ramona: Turkey & provolone hoagie, caffeine-free diet Coke, Tastykake Chocolate Junior

Jim: Roast beef & Swiss cheese hoagie, Tastykake Chocolate Cupcakes, soft pretzel.

This completes the big three of Philly dining -- hoagies and soft pretzels -- with cheese steaks. After Jim's Steaks, Wawa hoagies are a must for any self-respecting visitor to Philadelphia. I will say this -- I would give almost anything for a Wawa here in Texas. The sandwiches are the best anywhere. Their coffee is great, and a kaiser roll with butter makes a great breakfast.
Locations all over the Delaware Valley.
