Except he took a long time to mention the Mama’s meatball. We have all had various pizza but the name is Mama’s Meatballs

[@feliciafort7971]

I'm from Rockford, Illinois and never once thought of visiting NJ or PA. Just from watching your videos I believe I need to take a trip.

[@iAlwaysSpeakTheTruth]

Definitely come Felicia, the Italian food out here is the best in the nation :)

[@lizh4817]

The food in Philly alone is a reason to come! Promise Ms. Felicia!

[@cactaceous]

Felicia Fort I'm a New Yorker born and bred that travelled to Philly for work 3-4 times a year. Me and the wife are big foodies and we fell in love with the culinary scene that Philly has. The food all over is outrageously good. One night my wife told me she could see herself moving to Philly in the future. Almost a year later I heard my office was planning on opening a branch in Philly. Funny how life works sometimes. Jumped on it. Been here now almost 3 years. Once the pandemic ends, make some plans. Philly is quite great.

I'm glad you mention the bread. When the chef was loading up the sandwich my eyes were on the bread. I tasted it with my eyes.

I needed to turn my air up while looking at those sandwiches. And to hear Joe slicing that pizza made me tremble. This is a location worth trying over and over again. Stay safe! Be blessed!

JL every time I watch one of your video's I REALLY miss living in NY. MAN the bread on those sandwiches. If I were living back in NY every weekend I would have to take a trip to one of the bomb spots you've been to. I can't wait for the pandemic to be over so I can get back to NY to see family, rent a car and hit some of those spots. Making my list. I'm glad you are trying the pizza. I would of liked the pizza just a little thinner crust. Put the crunch on the dough seem fire. Another awesome JL Jupiter video.
