Chris, Andrew, and Brian reminisce about the fantastic diner scene of Philly from yesteryear. They listen to some recommendations from fans of the podcast, which does help to jog their memory. Thank you to the fans for reminding us about Penrose Diner: the best diner in Philadelphia.After bringing the diner discussion to a close, the gang plays a round of Hypertheticals. Chuck gives them a pretty good hypothetical to ponder. Once they exhausted the situation from every angle, the boys play a few rounds of Super Fight to close out the episode.You can find Chris online as @cotton215 on Twitter and every other platform. Andrew runs the Philadelphia food blog Philly Food Porn. Be sure to read about all the great stuff he's providing about the Philly food scene.

Best Philly Diner

After much debate there is no question that Penrose Diner is the best diner in Philadelphia. An incredible amount of votes for Penrose came in from our fans. Chris and Andrew agree that Penrose Diner is legit. If you enjoy a great diner experience, go to Penrose if you live in Philly.Honorable mention outside of the city would be Minella's Diner in Wayne, PA. Only worth the trek if you live in Delco; however, if you live out that way don't travel to Philly. That goes for anyone that lives in New Jersey too. NJ is the capitol of diners, so no need to cross the Ben Franklin.
