The Best in Philly - Jim's Steaks

Felgoise Here: Whenever my buddies visit Philly, there is always one, two and sometimes three adventures to Jim’s Steaks on South Street. After patiently waiting in an elongated line wrapped around the outside of the building, my pals and I gorged ourselves on delicious cholesterol climbing, whiz specials. After engulfing 1.5 - 2 of Jim’s delights, we sat around the table with engorged bellies in a comatose-like state as we contemplated the seemingly impossible record eating feats. Guiness Book of World Records title holder for banana split eating, Linda Kuerth ate 11 cheeseteaks in an hour and half in 1977 and high school football player Alex Friedman bested that by one sandwich in 2001. In January 2007, Bob Shoudt devoured 13 sandwiches during a stunt qualifying for Philadelphia’s Wing Bowl Competition. At least the record breakers don’t have to pay for their steaks in cash as their only cost is an extended day of indigestion.

We ate too much...

Glenn F. Here: Last night, Paul & I attended BizBites, Philly’s hottest happy hour with tasty samplings from numerous of the area’s top restaurateurs. We strategized our options in an effort to save extra space for the countless, scrumptious foods and drinks. The Oyster House’s Delaware Bay Oysters and Delicatessen’s Philly Bagel Rolls won our ranking of favorite, delicious foods. We also overstuffed our bellies with plenty of sweet treats courtesy of Desserts By Dana, Pop-A-Nugget and Pudding Lane. Donned in his black trench coat and shades, the security guard straight out of the vault of some cheesy B-movie provided lots of entertainment. In an abrupt manner, the conspicuous sentry relentlessly harassed all of the guests away from the second floor railing. 

NATO 2011

On a sunny Tuesday in a rented caddy, Bob road tripped down I-95 with Paul and Glenn to exhibit at the National Association of Theater Owners (NATO) Trade Show in Springfield, VA. Tony Soprano and your grandma would have envied this beaut. The day was a good opp for the guys to fraternize with the VIP theater folks. After the trade show adventure, happy hour and a chicken dinner, Bob zipped the exhausted JKR Team home in his silver chariot.  

CINEMACON 2011

Paul, Bob, and Glenn exhibited the JKR goods at CinemaCon last week in Vegas. For those of you who have no idea what CinemaCon is, it's the national trade show for all the movers and shakers in the movie industry from directors, to popcorn vendors.  In addition to making some key business connections there, they got to rub shoulders with some future stars.  This picture is of Bob and Paul with Zach Gordon, who stars in The Diary of A Wimpy Kid.  Gordon was signing autographs in the both next to ours.
