The secret burger at Wolfgang's Steakhouse on Park Ave. Only served at lunch, only at the bar and do not even appear on the menu! Just incredible!

I didn't even know that there was a ban...

I lay out a piece of prosciutto, spinkle some fresh grated Parmigiano Reggiano, lay a piece of asparagus on it, roll it up and roast in the oven. I also like to take piece of prosciutto and wrap it around those long, thin breadsticks.

@gingercookiewithlime; Where did you find THAT shirt? I gotta get that on my Xmas list! Yeah... it's a Philly thing....

I'd have to suggest the classic hotdog and baked bean casserole!

For years, I've used the winning Chili-cookoff recipe from 1998 called 24 Karat Chili. You can find it on the Chili Cookoff website. Its not "hot", just spicy with lots of flavor. I don't use the recommended beef and the whole small cube cutting, I just use ground beef and it turns out fine.

Wow, a hot dog thesis! Cool...

No Friggin' Way!!! Nay!!!

I've always known them simply as Jimmies. Now that my daughter is 3, she has learned that they are Jimmies and asks for them constantly and she does just what I did with them, eat them right from the container, forget the ice cream...

Adam, next time in Philly, let us know. You can try some Scrapple and head you off to Tony Luke's favorite pizza place (on the Jersey side)!

@Amandarama; I've only had ostrich steaks before, but they were always cooked medium to rare, so I would imagine that you could cook the burgers medium/rare as well.

New York Strip all the way!

We're on the same page. We usually have a party on NY's eve, but since this has been such a horrible year for us (the worst in over 20 years), we decided to go it alone and see this crappy year out with a personal feast of seafood and filet mignon. We'll have crabcakes, sea scallops, snow crab legs, salmon or sea bass and the filet mignon. I'll open up a really good wine and try to forget 2008....
