Sure, I like a cheese steak every once in a while, and Philly has many fine establishments that’ll fry you up a hardy example, but the only cheese steak that has ever lingered in my memory for taste magificence is a long closed steak shack in Rose Tree, near Media.

Another regional delight, Philadelphia roast pork sandwiches, are often more memorable, just less hyped. Having had the well known and the obscure around the Delaware Valley, I merely have to close my eyes and a cartoon scent caresses me back to the Reading Terminal Market for Tommy DiNic’s consistenly amazing roast port sandwich. Try it with the sharp provolone and either (or both!) of the greens.

Do yourself a real favor and eat right there at the counter. Corny as it sounds, my wife and I actually suggest to each other that we have a little ‘DiNic’s date’. The sandwich is the main event, and anything else we do coming and going from that counter is just… gravy!
