Sam Boyd, of Boyd Gaming, started his career working a gambling barge off the coa Read on...
Yes, I have been to the places that invented these ten classic and iconic foods. Of the most famous ten, here are the three I have visited: OK, this one is open to heated debate. But many sources say that brothers Pat and Harry Olivieri invented this locally beloved meat bomb when they were running a hot dog stand near South Philadelphias Italian Market in the 1930s.

Weve just been home for few days, and it feels good. Home here is all about back to the kitchen, back to serious wine, back to home and golf rounds....but sadly, dives are a rarer occurrence lately due to the simple lack of divers visiting our little corner of paradise.
