It's Time to Eat!

Food Trucks
Life outside of the classroom can be a very exciting experience. There are so many opportunities to eat around town and experience the joy of trying foods from so many different cultures. Food trucks are stationed throughout the Penn campus and around the city so trying something new can just be a few steps away. Recently, I have eaten Halal, Mexican, and Caribbean food from different food trucks around the area. Though I was unfamiliar with food trucks prior to moving to Philadelphia I really enjoyed the food that I have eaten so far from every food truck I have visited.

A Few Food Truck Tips
1. Bring Cash
2. During lunch time between 12 to 1, the lines are really long
3. Ask friends about popular food trucks around the area
4. Be willing to try something new

Going on a Cheesesteak Hunt
As you may already know Philadelphia is synonymous for its Philly Cheesesteaks! So one of the greatest food challenges for me is finding a the restaurant with best cheesesteak. Well, I recently started my quest for the best Philadelphia cheesesteak and it have been a very filling experience (both figuratively and literally). My first stop was to two famous Restaurants that are well known for their cheesesteaks Pat's of Steaks and Geno's.

Both of these food restaurants were both featured on a Food Network episode and they are literally across the street from one another. So my goal was to try both cheese teaks and determine which one would become my favorite. By the time I finished the two cheesesteaks I was stuffed and there was a clear winner. However, I would much rather wait until you have tried them before telling you my vote so when you come to Philly feel free to email me and let me know which one you chose.

A Few Cheesesteak Tips
1. Bring Cash
2. Come Hungry
3. Carry lots of Napkins
3. Allot Time (The lines are long especially during the weekend)
4. Bring a Friend
