Smoke BBQ ribs and Brisket nachos

Well went to Smoke last week and because of the time and effort in the cheesesteak tour I have been a bit slow to get this published. Sorry, loyal readers but I wanted to mix the content up a bit. Leave a comment if you like the cheesesteak tour or if you prefer I stick to the shorter review pieces.

I was wrong about the Sixers

I'll be honest there are a lot of things I have been wrong about when it comes to the Sixers over the past couple of years. I thought Fultz was going to be the third star next to be Joel and Ben and that the trade was a good one. Wrong. I thought that Nik Stauskas would turn into a better version of JJ Reddick, a combination of shooting, average defense and ball handling. Way wrong! I thought that Dario is super fun to cheer for and should be a sixer for life, actually I was right about that.

The Cheesesteak tour of Philly

Well on February 22nd, it was the first group blog event, even if most of the people didn't know I was going to write about it here till the day before I think everyone was enthusiastic about the idea and with that 6 brave souls went about trying to find the best cheesesteak in Philadelphia. Before going forward check out the map of the tour and the details over here. (Yes I am doing this so I can skip a good portion of the rewrite between the two posts.) Also if you are just here for the results skip to the bottom I go on several tangents which have little to do with cheesesteaks and it goes against my core beliefs of blogging to take the tangents out.

So I can't take all the credit for this, several years ago Doug, showed me a youtube video of a guy who ate 16 cheesesteaks in 12 hours so it was always in the back of my mind as something I would want to do but I am not that crazy to try to eat whole ones so to steal the idea from cheesesteak fest I brought friends and cut it up into pieces. One of the things I remembered about that video was it started at Tony Lukes and actually Tony Luke's was the winner of his best cheesesteak. So with that in mind Tony Lukes was the starting point for this one as well.

 

Sonic the Hedgehog!

So a blast from my past was definitely going to get me to write a movie review. Back in the game Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (gamecube) was my game. College friends can remember the time I spent 100% the game and effort to get all As. So I'm going to follow my rainbow and give the review the Sonic Movie deserves!

Ribs at Back Alley BBQ

Was told that the Ribs at Back Alley BBQ were out of this world so I knew I needed to go out and give them a try. Well I was not disappointed. Maybe not the best in the world but they were good and huge. Just take a look!
