Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
If you follow baseball, you may have heard that the World Series starts tonight. If you live in Philadelphia (as I do) or Tampa Bay, it is probably all you're hearing. As is tradition, the political figures from those cities have placed their food bets. Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter has promised to pony up Philadelphia cheesesteaks, Tastykakes, Philly soft pretzels and Mac and Cheese from Delilah's Southern Café (Oprah's favorite). If the Rays win. In return, the mayors from St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa, FL have offered a Florida Beach Picnic that will include coconut shrimp, stone crab claws and Cuban sandwiches.
Not to be outdone, the governors of Pennsylvania and Florida have also gotten in on the action, betting similar packages of sweet and savory treats. May the best team, city and state win!

I beg the pardon of Mr. Silber but we are at a disadvantage with the menu selection of our governor. His choices were politically motivated and not the best example of the seafood here.
Coconut shrimp are for people who like style over substance. Find a good seafood dive (off the beaten path) and ask what is popular.
I have had cuban sandwiches and am unimpressed - others rave like there is nothing like them. Meh. Maybe I am spoiled by good subs/heros. To me gyros and cubans are tied as a preference, tho some are definitely better than others.
I would like to try a good Philly cheesesteak and I have long had a soft spot for soft pretzels. I doubt I will be invited to the meal :)

If there's anything worse than a politician it's a group of them :)
My bad, sorry.
