Bubby’s Brisket: Tiny Restaurant, Big Flavor
In the shadows of Philadelphia’s municipal buildings, just a few steps away from Love Park, Bubby’s Brisket occupies one of the smallest retail spaces in the city on 15th Street near Arch. This takeout-only place has no room for seating, barely enough space to stand in line, but the diminutive sandwich shop produces enormous flavors [...]

Wednesday, April 29, 2009
Having discovered that the Old City crowd prefers a late night binge of tacos, ribs and burritos over seafood, Philadelphia Fish & Company took just one week to transform from a 26-year-old neighborhood fixture into a Southern influenced BBQ restaurant. Reborn as Q, it’s a place where the friendly staff and comfortable, bluesy atmosphere reflects [...]

Monday, April 27, 2009
Barclay Prime is no stranger to decadent sandwiches, with its $100 cheesesteak and buttery kobe sliders, but the new pub menu’s dry aged burger may very well surpass them all. Served as a couplet of square mini burgers, slightly larger than the sliders, the burger patties consist of ground NY strip, kobe strip, ribeye and kobe [...]

Thursday, April 23, 2009
Phoebe’s Bar-B-Q is a hole-in-the-wall takeout joint on South Street in Fitler Square, full of big flavors and an unabashedly gruff staff befitting the tagline “Ribs With Attitude”. Known primarily for their ribs and rotisserie chicken, they also offer most of the menu items in sandwich form. The brisket sandwich is a definite winner, but [...]

McGillin’s Olde Ale House has stayed true to their formula since the time Abraham Lincoln was president: great beer, a welcoming atmoshphere and the right food at the right price.

Monday, April 20, 2009
We ran into Philly’s own radio host / reality star / actor / comedian / bad boy Danny Bonaduce this weekend, and we asked him about his favorite sandwich. He thought for a moment and said: No one place jumps off the board for me, but give me some grilled steak, onions and provolone and that’s [...]

To celebrate National Grilled Cheese Month, we have created our own version of the classic grilled cheese with a latin flare.

Friday, April 17, 2009
Dubbed “the single greatest veggie burger in the known world” in their advertisements, Old City’s National Mechanics delivers a distinctly fresh and flavorful vegetarian sandwich that lives up to the bravado. Hardly a traditional faux-meat patty, this collection of julienned vegetables is bound together and smothered in jack cheese, served on a fresh Sarcone’s sandwich [...]

A great value is something to be celebrated. And in University City, at the Fresh Grocer supermarket, we found an exceptional value in the form of a huge sandwich at a very reasonable price. The Fresh Grocer at 40th & Walnut is generally considered a pricey place to shop. But the sandwich and hoagie counter is [...]
