Philadelphia bar food at it's best.  The sign says Nick's Cafe, but everyone knows it as Nick's Roast Beef.  The Roast Beef sandwich is a classic.  Hand carved to order, sopped in natural juices, on a bun that is also dipped in the au jus.  I get the combo, with a slice of provolone.  


The rest of the menu follows suit.  Ham Sandwich or Ham Combo carved from a baked ham and Roast Pork or Pork Combo, carved from a pork roast.


A sandwich or two chased by a schooner of Rolling Rock.  Best downed at the bar, watching whatever game happens to be on the TV.
