    I'm 56 & a lifelong resident of Phila/South Jersey. Federal Donuts is amazing, Reading Terminal Market is a national treasure, love how he said "wooder ice". Pat's and Geno's blow, but open 24/7 365 to soak up booze. Ralph's is good, but Marra's & Villa de Roma are much better. No frills, locals know the best. John's Roast Pork on Wccacoe St has the best roast pork & cheesesteaks

      Oh for sure try those donuts next time you go back! I wanted to try the chicken sandwich too because I heard that it was supposed to be really good too, but we were too full after the donuts!

      Thanks. check out our other videos. We weren't there as long as we were in Philly, but we have a couple on Pittsburgh.
      Definitely trying to make that happen. We've been to a good chunk of the cities on the east coast. Plan is to go international for a few months then hit some cities on the west coast

    Taking all the notes in our new hometown! And chicken + donuts? Whooooooa. Reading Terminal Market is theee top market in America. And you went to Tommy Dinic’s!! A million great 🧀🥩 spots. Next time, try Marra’s for Italian & Puzzeria Vetri - WORLD class. An Iron Chef was 15 feet from us!

      yup! makes perfect sense. Thanks for this btw. We tend look for places with a lot of history, and we're learning to move away from that. The historic spots tend to not live up to the hype.

    Mama's Pizzaria. Best Cheesesteaks. Like, they can't even sell pizzas anymore because no one was ordering them anymore. It's all about the steaks. The rolls are made special for them and no one else. The rolls are like bagels on the outside and a nice soft bread on the inside. They don't get all soggy and fall apart. The place is just outside the city and it's where tons of locals go for the real deal.

      They were so cool. We've never been the types to go out of our way for free stuff, but definitely not going to turn down such a gesture. And it's a big chain in Philly so it's not like they were looking for exposure or anything (not like we have any to give either). They were generally just really chill.
      So I, Tony, am from Maryland so we had Rita's all the time. I thought it was common. It's basically Italian shaved ice

      If you try the chicken sandwich let us know how it was. It looked really good, but we were completely full from the extra donuts.
      Really can't go wrong in Philly for cheese steak. It's mostly just personal preference and bias. I can't say that I've ever had one I didn't like in the city yet.
