What's a trip to Philly without a cheesesteak?

SPRINGFIELD, Penna. -- Knowing better than to order a cheesesteak at a stadium, I decided that we would make a little detour on the way home. Although I was tempted to try Pat's, having tried Jim's and Geno's, I wasn't up for driving to 9th and Passayunk this time, so I figured we'd hit a suburban Jim's Steaks location because I wasn't up for South Street either. It is just as well since I like Jim's the best (so far) and I figured it would be faster this way. There was one little problem though -- I couldn't remember if Jim's Springfield location was on US 1 or Baltimore Pike. I would up getting off the I-476 (aka the Blue Route) onto US 1 and realized I went too far, so I turned us onto PA 320 and found our way back to Baltimore Pike.
The detour was worth it as the steaks were quite good and it had been a long time since I ate one. I ordered "whiz wit raw onions" while Erica had "American wit peepers and onions." The fries were mediocre though; undercooked and not sufficiently shaken out following removal from the fryer.
