Wheres Frank?
In King of Prussia, PA for the Super Billiards Expo. If you're in town, stop by and get a picture for the blog!
No trip to Philadelphia is complete without a trip to Pat’s and Geno’s for the world’s best cheesesteaks.
Since there’s a longstanding debate about who has the world’s best cheesesteaks, Pat’s or Geno’s. Mike, Samm, Fieldhammer and I went down to South Philly for the ultimate taste challenge.
Both were magically delicious, even if we didn’t go the traditional cheese whiz route.
In the end, we decided unanimously that Geno’s had the better meat but Pat’s had the better rolls. If only we could put the two together…
Its been a long couple of weeks. Taiwan was pretty cool and San Diego was a blast (Sarah finished 5-8th!!), but no rest for the weary. After San Diego, I headed back to PoolDawg HQ for a little face lift (more on that later) and then got right back on a plane for King of Prussia, PA to hang out at the Super Billiards Expo.
Because I was traveling with Mike the marketing guy, we got to the airport way earlier then necessary. While we were waiting, Mike put a movie in for me to keep me busy.
Frank T. Dawg Watching Zombieland
Why Mike thought Zombieland was an appropriate movie for me I’ll never know, but it sure did make me want some Twinkies! Anyway, after a couple of hours waiting at Gate 49, we finally got on board. Apparently I’m not good enough for an actual seat on the plane, because Mike jammed me in his smelly backpack and I had to ride under a chair for 3 hours.
I get zero love I tell ya!
Since I got such shoddy treatment on the plane, Mike promised that he’d take me to Pat’s and Geno’s to have some authentic philly cheesesteaks. Promises, promises…
The first stop on Frank T. Dawg’s whirlwind 2010 tour was Olathe, Kansas this past weekend where Sarah played a tune up for the Amway Cup. This stop on the Midwest 9 Ball Tour proved to be worthwhile for two reasons. First, Sarah won the event, so she was able to throw a little cash in her pocket.
More importantly though, BBQ!
Seriously, is there any better place in the world to get BBQ than in the midwest? Chicken, ribs, texas toast… delicious. Sarah was even nice enough to help me up on the table so I could dig in.
I have no idea what’s going to be on the menu in Taiwan, but I can’t wait to get out there! I’ll have the rest of the pictures up in the photos section later today.
After months of being ignored, it’s finally time to get out of Illinois and back on the road. Once I shake off all the dust from being locked in the back of Sarah’s closet, I’ll be traveling to Taiwan for the Amway Cup!
This will be my first trip out of the country, so needless to say I’m pretty excited. I know a few of my friends from the WPBA will be heading to Taipei as well, so I won’t get too lonely while Sarah is busy kicking ass.
The real reason I want to go though is to check out the Formosan Mountain Dogs.
These dogs are all from Taiwan and they have these totally wicked black tongues. I probably won’t see one since they’re really rare, but you never know. After Taiwan, Sarah and I will be flying over to San Diego for the first event of the 2010 WPBA season, the San Diego Classic, then we’ll be off to Philly for the Super Billiards Expo.
