FYI, Seth, if a cheesesteak is really good, it will transport you not to South Street (where you'd have to go the far inferior Jim's), but to Passyunk, where the two titans of cheesesteak, Pat's and Geno's, are located (both at 9th Street by the park). But really, Seattle saying it's better than New York at providing a Philadelphia delicacy is like, um, the Mariners playing a special three-game series against the Red Sox to determine who has Mike Piazza. No matter who wins, neither of them will actually have Mike Piazza, and like cheesesteak, Piazza is good but not so good that those who don't have him should care. (Cheesesteak throws out more runners, though.)

Funny you should bring up Philly cheese steaks. Suddenly they're the newest food craze in NYC. Time Out New York just ran a feature on it, where they got Philadelphians to rate all the new Philly cheese steak joints in town: http://www.timeoutny.com/eatout/492/492.eat.feat.html But anyway, why are you talking about Philly cheese steaks?? Bring on the pizza talk!!!

Alright Seattle, I'm from New York and I made my first trip to Seattle a few weeks back. First, the best place in town is Shorty's. Let's get that straight, that place is awesome. Why don't you give yourselves credit for something that's actually good and unique?? Instead of talking about Chinese food and steakum sandwiches? What have you got, poo for brains? Anyway, to refute NYC cheese steaks, may I recommend you try: Dopey Benny's, Sassy's Sliders, Tony Luke's, Philly Slim's, or 99 Miles to Philly. Anyway, to refute NYC chinese food, may I recommend you try: Chinatown. It's big. It's good. And there's nothing like it in Seattle. Not even the "International District", sorry. monorail, Monorail, MONORAIL! (it goes between an amusement park and a mall...)

Please. Why head all the way up there for a cheese steak when Tat's Deli in Pioneer Square is obviously superior. They have all your cheese options: cheddar, provalone, american, velveeta, whiz. www.tatsdeli.com
