I hear that the U.S. has the best prison health care system on the planet, because so many rich people are in prison.

We don't let him drive. He rides in the back seat of the local cops cruiser when ever he has to go somewhere.

I think we do. Isn't there a Flyers_in_06 or something similar to that?

Not sure if he's actually from Philly though.

Edit: Philly06Cup seems to be a resident Flyers fan.

Depends on which stand I go to. Some places use actual store bought wiz, other places make their own wiz by melting different cheeses. Generally I go Provie Wit, if the homemade wiz is available I will do wiz wit . . . Cheesesteaks are old hat . . . big sensation down here is the hot pork sandwich, with sharp provie, red hots, and broccoli raab.

I am jealous of sandwich based culture.

It is really an amazing world I live in, we make some really good beer down here, our pizza sucks, but we make a good tomato pie, and our hot and cold sandwiches are the best (I lived in nyc for a while and its not close), the soft pretzel is also an art form down here. So when you watch parking wars you can now understand why everyone is fat. If you ever make the trip down here I will give you a list of joints to hit up. 85% -90% of the sandwich is in the quality of the bread.

Amoroso makes a top quality roll. A lot of the sandwich joints get the fresh every day.

I know of two food dishes that Calgary can lay claim to:

Though its origins may have been in China, a version of it was invented in Calgary, Alberta in 1974 by a chef in Chinatown's Silver Inn restaurant. [1] Ginger beef was a must-have there whenever eating chinese food throughout the eighties and nineties, and although its popularity has since declined, it can still be ordered at most any Chinese restaurant in that region.

And yes, in Calgary, it's all about the beef!

I still don't understand how the Caesar is different from the bloody mary? Ginger beer sounds good, I will have to look for that.

A bloody mary uses just tomato juice, whereas a caesar uses Clamato, a tomato/clam juice mixture.
