4 Must-Try PHILADELPHIA FOODS
SOFT PRETZELS
Soft pretzels have a rich history in Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia area, and are delicious with spicy mustard. Several stalls in Reading Terminal Market offer freshly baked pretzels, like Miller’s Twist.
RED GRAVY
In Philadelphia, a homemade Italian red-sauce dinner is lovingly called red gravy by locals. At the famed Victor Café in South Philadelphia, Italian eats are served with a side of opera, as the servers sing operatic classics every 20 minutes.
CHEESESTEAKS
It’s not a trip to Philadelphia without trying a cheesesteak. Two of Philadelphia’s most iconic shops — Pat’s King of Steaks and Geno’s Steaks — are located across the street from one another in the East Passyunk neighborhood.
ROAST PORK SANDWICHES
The roast pork sandwich is made with thinly sliced pork served on a long sesame-seed roll with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe. The most famous version is available from DiNic’s Roast Pork in Reading Terminal Market.
