So I was in Philly with someone I didn't know, and we only had twenty minutes. Wait, that didn't sound right, did it? Take two. I was on a business trip in Philadelphia visiting clients with the regional sales manager with whom I've spoken only over the phone. Now that didn't sound as prurient, did it? Good. Y'see, I'm from San Francisco, and I was tagging along on his appointments. It was completely vertical, OK?

He was rightfully proud to show off the new, state-of-the-art Comcast Experience HD Video Wall at where else?...the Comcast Center. We were so mesmerized by the moving images that we had realized we needed to grab lunch before our next meeting. Now what "lunch" means to a salesperson is stepping away to make more prospect calls while letting me loose in the marketplace downstairs with way too many choices to process in my preoccupied mind.

I went to the Di Bruno Bros. counter because they had the longest line, which I realize seems counterintuitive given the time constraints. However, quality still matters, and that many Philly folks in a line can't be wrong, right? They weren't. I had a really good Pulled Pork Sandwich for about $12, very meaty but somehow melty at the same time and all between two slices of freshly baked challah. Now I couldn't tell you it was the best pulled pork sandwich in the city since it was the only one I had in Philadelphia. But hey, it's gotta be up there, don't you think? Well, the Comcast marketplace offers quite a selection of eateries, but I think I made the right choice with an only-in-Philly sammie.

FOOD - 4 stars...meaty but melty...how could that be wrong?
AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...well, it's a food court after all...but a clean new one
SERVICE - 3 stars...they make it right in front of you, thus the line
TOTAL - 4 stars...Yo, Adrian...this here is a good sandwich
