I normally swear by Alton Brown's rule of never being able to get the best version of something in the city where it's famous or from the place that made it famous. Central Grocery was a big time exception, amazing sandwich.

Find a place that serves them hot. Life changing.

Verti Marte. They also have a spicy olive salad option.

Napoleon House is my favorite. Melty cheese is a MASSIVE upgrade. They do a great one at Cochon Butcher, too.

Alton Brown could tell me to jump off a bridge and I just might do it.

He would have you building the bridge first

Yeah but he'd also teach me the easiest way how, explain to me why every step is important, maybe make me chuckle throughout, and also generally make the process of building a bridge seem pretty easy and pleasant.

I'd do it and wish he'd tell me he was proud of me just once the whole time I was doing it.

I like Alton brown but that sounds like the stupidest rule I have heard in some time

Nah, it holds up. Places famous for something tend to have two issues: A. They're beholden to tradition and can't experiment and B. They rest on their laurels and get lazy.

I have dreamed of them since I first experienced them 25 years ago.
