Bob Evans Family Restaurant
I had the Pot Roast Hash with Eggs and Biscuits with Sausage Gravy. It was tasty - a few steps up from Denny's and Carrow's. =) The sausage gravy was a little salty, but still nice and creamy with a hint of mushroom...EXCELLENT over their delicious buttery biscuits!
Brandon ordered the Strawberry Banana Pancakes. He loved it - there was a layer of banana creme pie filling in between the pancakes, and the pancakes themselves had fresh mashed bananas in the batter.

Philly Cheesesteaks @ Pat and Geno's
First, we tried Pat's. We each ordered our own sub. We lined up nervously and ordered our cheesesteak exactly as outlined. Apparently, if you order wrong you get sent to the BACK OF THE LINE!

Original Whiz wit
Then - since we were tourists, my brothers picked up a sandwich from Geno's across the street to compare! (I personally preferred Pat's - but Geno's lets you order one with Cheesewhiz inside AND outside...meaning a squirt of the Whiz on the bread and then another on top of the steak and toppings!)

Cheeburger Cheeburger
Apparently, if you can eat a 1 lb burger at Cheeburger Cheeburger, they will post your picture on their Wall of Fame. Being as competitive as our family is, the boys couldn't resist the challenge. It's a chain restaurant, but the only one in California is in San Diego. You can order unlimited toppings on your burger. Most are free of charge.

Blue Crabs from Chesapeake Bay
On Monday we ordered a bushel + 18 of the famous Baltimore Blue Crabs. They steam them when you arrive to pick them up and toss them with Old Bay Seasoning. At the place where we got our crabs, you call a few hours to see what is available and reserve your order. They are live until you arrive to pick them up. Unlike the California Dungeness Crabs that we are familiar with - these Blue Crabs are smaller with most of the meat in the body and the two front claws of the crustacean. You don't even bother with the other little legs. It's pretty tasty - I ate 8! I actually prefer the crab cakes - all the yummy crabmeat with none of the work!

Bob Evans Family Restaurant
My sister and Benson really like the breakfasts at Bob Evans Family Restaurant, so we stopped by the one near their place for breakfast one morning.

Philly Cheesesteaks @ Pat and Geno's
Another item on the Wong Family Food Tour of the East Coast was a trip through the city of brotherly love, on the way to NYC. Of course, we had to stop for a signature Philly sandwich at the infamous corner where the cheesesteak supposedly was born.

White Castle
We were curious to see what had inspired Harold and Kumar's wild adventures to White Castle from the movie, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. 
We were obviously quite excited to finally arrive - we drove up from Baltimore through Philadelphia and arrived at the White Castle in New Jersey near our hotel. Tomorrow, we are headed to NYC.
We were obviously quite excited to finally arrive - we drove up from Baltimore through Philadelphia and arrived at the White Castle in New Jersey near our hotel. Tomorrow, we are headed to NYC.
We ordered one of each kind - the regular slider, jalepeno cheeseburger, chicken ring sandwich and bacon cheeseburger. I also tried the "Chicken" Buffalo Bites. (It didn't taste like real chicken.) I have to admit that the famous White Castle slider was a little disappointing. I wouldn't eat that again. The chicken ring sandwich and bacon cheeseburger were okay though. Each "burger" is slightly larger than 1/4 of a sandwich made with regular sliced bread.More to come...we're here until the 28th of July!!
