I was just talking to a good friend who's from Philly and asked him about The Blue Comet. One of his best friends has been the bartender there for years. So yes, we will be going if I hit WW Philly this year!!
Awesome! Thanks, Sean. How far down in Providence?
I'm surprised more Jersey boys haven't popped up here to recommend hot dog joints as Jersey is famous for 'em. Like Rutt's Hutt. Anyone been?
I usually go to this local place called The Works. GREAT burgers with a huge variety of toppings.
There was also this place in Japan that I went to once during my stay...I can't remember what it was called, but they had the best burgers I've ever tasted.
Lot of debate over Five Guys vs. In-N-Out. It's the old East Coast vs. West Coast battle, and of course, the West is the best.
Besides In-N-Out, we have Tommy's here in LA. My good friend McManus has tasted the goodness and approves!
Little joint called Matt's in Minneapolis is the home of the Juicy Lucy.
It's a big patty with a tunnel dug out in the middle that is filled with cheese.
They serve it at approximately 2000 degrees Fahrenheit and their drinks don't come with ice!
But diggity-dang if it ain't good eats.
Also Ben's Chili Bowl here in the DC area is home to THE best chili-dog ever...with all due respect to Carney's.
There's a soul food restaurant in Waldorf, MD called Lefty's that serves the most awesomeriffic barbeque ribs and orange-juice flavored pork chops.
Yes, pork chops cooked with orange juice.
Sounds gross, tastes like sex plus heroin.
I LOVE Five Guys!! I think I ate there every day when I was at Baltimore Con.Lot of debate over Five Guys vs. In-N-Out. It's the old East Coast vs. West Coast battle, and of course, the West is the best.

I also tried Tommy's out in L.A., as it came highly recommended by Senor Slott. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. However, I have since been informed that I did not go to the ORIGINAL Tommy's and will have to check out their first Tommy's shack on Beverly and Rampart next time, which I will be glad to do.
Come to think of it, I was with Dan when I went to Five Guys for the first time too. Bound by burgers!
I had dinner with my brother last night and he recently went to Paul Newman's all organic restaurant in Westport, CT. Although he felt guilty ordering it, he had the $24 bacon cheeseburger, and turns out he did not regret it after all. He said it was out of this world and that he would gladly spend that much money again for another one anytime!
In-N-Out is where it's at, definitely.
P.
Yeah, I used to live across the street from the Original Tommy's, right there in Historic Filipinotown (my girl's Filipino).
Next time you're in town make sure to hit me up and we'll rock it.
Five Guys is good, but a little heavy for me. It also leaves a funny aftertaste, but people really seem to dig it. My Mom swears by it!
