Exactly! My guess is many of those people are tourists with limited time in the city, and I feel really sad they’re losing an hour to that line. (And based on the sad faces in line, they’re questioning their choices) At the same time, it’s their only chance to try this famous pizza?!

L’Industrie is one of my local slice shops, and it is really really good (better than Joe’s down the street, and I love Joe’s) but I always feel so sorry for the people standing in line for 30 minutes or longer when it’s busy.

Just because you’re mentioning some southern/creole things I’m going to say a little e-prayer for Fat Ham, a really good New Southern spot in Philly that closed way too soon. Anyone else remember them?

Grillo’s pickle chips there? Love those. Have you tried Bubbies? Salt-brined, naturally fermented- they’re our family favorite
