Let’s get real for a second. Writing about food can be exhausting work, especially when you aren’t always able to sample the deliciousness you just obsessed about for the past hour (Pierre Robert wine, I still pine for you). But these long hours are made meaningful by your loving and insightful comments. Here are 10 of the best comments we’re received.
1. Just one of the many notes from salty Rochesterians we received when we pondered “The Garbage Plate”:
“Seriously? Come up with something more original at least. I expected more from you Philadelphia. We here in Rochester do not go around ordering “Philly Style Cheesesteaks”. Why? Because we know nothing can beat a Philly original. What’s next? The Ugly American selling Poutine just like in Canada! The Ugly American selling Baltimore Blue Crabs steamed with old bay and a crappy beer? If you want a real garbage plate, drive up to Rochester. And I don’t recommend that you go to Nick’s. Ask around, try a few.”
– The Garbage Plate, Philly Style
2. Poor Jared. We asked him to DJ one time and his whole workplace hazed him.
“Hey Jayrad,. lol I will be there with friggin bells on. lol”

3. People dug our handy BBQ tips, and had plenty of their own to chime in:
“If you have nine hours to spare, a 10lb pork shoulder will run you about 13.00 and can serve 10 comfortably. Make sure you get it with the skin completely intact, the cracklin’s are better than bacon and there’s plenty to be had”
4. Phoodie Readers: Not so much with the New Jersey cuisine renaissance:
“The inky is wasting its time with bullshit in haddonfield? HADDONFIELD? what kind of shit is this? the suburbs are for chumps, and the sooner the paper focuses more on things that readers can take public transit to, the better.”
– For Whom The Tubular Bells Toll: Javier in Haddonfield
5. Well, at least somebody appreciated our list of the best bars Philadelphia Weekly missed:
“‘Real World’ Glenn’s stint on the Real World LA made him the second most famous person from Roslyn. Right behind Michael Buffer. Go Eulogy!”
– Because If We Don’t Pick Up The Slack, Who Will?
6. When presented with the prospect of a delicious pint of Basset’s/WHYY “Terry Garcia” ice cream, one reader opines:
“That reminds me of the only dialog worth repeating from Desperate Housewives: Edie, referring to her non-affair with Orson: “That would be like having sex with PBS.”
– Drink Blob: Rum Bar Gives It Hard And Soft, How Do You Want It?
7. Good burgers produce strong opinions. This is but one:
“you gotta dig on a nodding head burger. if you dont youre a racist and a rapist.”
– God Bless Burgermerica, Land That I Heartclog
8. Tell us how you really feel about Philly Uncorked, brah. Oh wait. Maybe “brah” isn’t that good of a choice of word.
“It’s a shame that Keith had to drag along a pair of boobs to sell this spot. He’s got credibility. All she’s got is big hair and teeth”
9. Then again, only her hairdresser knows for sure.
“It is not a perm! Do you know how many I have to wait for her as she straightens it?!?! But great review otherwise”
10. Obama Cola: Not that sweet for some.
“Great, more commercialization of politics. Another company making money off our most sacred liberty. Soda rots your teeth and your democracy.”
Keep up the good work!
