By the time we got out it was a little after noon. I asked Joe what he wanted to do for lunch. He suggested going somewhere to eat after we took Jenny home. As we were driving we came up to Pat's Steaks and Geno's Steaks. There is a thriving rivalry between these two famous steak sandwiches. People in Philadelphia like either one or the other. They are across the street from each other and both are always packed. I asked Joe if he wanted to stop and he said yes. I asked him which one and he said he was a Pat's person. It must have been meant to be because as we reached the intersection a car drove away and we drove right into the spot. Parking is at a premium in South Philly and it's almost impossible to find a spot near either restaurant. This was right in front of it!
We each got a steak sandwich with fried onions, french fries and iced tea. It was expensive, but oh, so good!
We sat in the car to eat since we had Jenny with us. It was a beautiful day, the food was good, and it was a great treat.
