A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

ROSCOE'S!  It only takes one entry for me to credit as legitimate a list compiling the 100 Greatest Cult Restaurants In America:

First, the restaurant must have a highly devoted customer base and should appeal to locals and tourists... Second, the food must obviously be stellar and unique enough to produce a dedicated clientele. Being home to 'The Best' or 'The Original' of something helps. Third, the wait is almost always unbearable — but worth it. On this note, population density was given some consideration. Fourth, multiple locations are okay, but not too many, unless they’re in another country. Finally, for our purposes, a single meal should be relatively cheap.

Only one Philadelphia establishment on the list -- a mediocre cheesesteak tourist trap -- when both ends of the Lorenzo's/Jim's South Street Burrito would be more meritorious.  But overall, I think you'll be satisfied with a new life's checklist.  (HT: Marsha.)
