Almost forgot to mention The Great Cheesesteak Debate, a last-minute short addition to the Philadelphia Film Festival. Scott Vosbury’s mini-documentary, shown before Super Size Me, examines one of the most pressing questions in our fair city: who makes the best cheesesteaks?

Yes, the big kahuna. A brilliant, scattered, Lebanese man with the attention span of a gnat. A celebrity executive who enjoys speaking at conventions and being quoted in the trade rags. Today he invited me to one of his presentations, so I met him at 6:45 AM, and we took a ride […]
