Five Foods That Pennsylvania Does Best

PA makes these foods better than anywhere in the south.

Five Foods That Pennsylvania Does Best

Don't get me wrong, the south is known for a lot of great things, like the weather and southern hospitality ... but when it comes to these mouth-watering foods, PA does it best.

1. Pork roll

It's similar to a Canadian bacon that can be put on a breakfast sandwich with an egg. But, to be honest, no one really knows exactly what's in it, or why it's not in the south ... but living life without ever trying pork roll is just not right.  

2. Cream cheese

Whether it's because of the perfectly creamy texture or the 800 flavors to choose from, Philly rightfully owns the title for best cream cheese.  It makes a perfect spread on a toasted bagel in the morning.



3. Pizza

Sorry to break it to you. Even though it might taste good when you're drunk, Dominos does not count as good pizza.

4. Hoagies

Hoagies from Wawa, in particular, are prime. When I hear someone say "What's Wawa?" I cringe. Do not compare it to Sheets or 7/11, because Wawa should have its own category.  With the quick service bar of deli meats and hot sides, it's hard to go wrong with Wawa for any meal. And the fact that it's open 24 hours comes in handy on late nights or early mornings. And P.S. it's called a 'hoagie,' not a 'sub.'



5. Cheesesteaks

And lastly, the obvious Philly Cheesesteak. Pats, Genos, or even just from the joint down the street, it's obvious that no other cheesesteak can beat the Philly Cheesesteak.  It doesn't matter if you have whiz or American, they're both tastier than the sad version the south tries to pass as a 'philly cheesesteak.'


All in all, sorry southerners, you truly haven't lived until you have had a mouthful of these foods from Pennsylvania.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself.
