Darren Costello
 

If anyone is in the area, Darren Costello, St. Charles's favorite son, will be signing autographs and shaking hands at the Lansdale "Under The Lights" car show Saturday evening and also, he can be seen at GM Carlisle on Friday roaming the fairgrounds eating soft pretzels w/mustard! Show starts at 6:00 on Saturday evening in downtown Lansdale. Come on out for an autograph or just a sighting. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Dan.

Re: Darren Costello
 

Sooooo, I gotta bring some TastyKakes to Carlisle with me on Friday? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Darren Costello
 

Sam, get me Darren's autograph...I won't be able to make it...

Also, someone get a picture of him eating one of those pretzels https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Darren Costello

Re: Darren Costello
 

Mr Costello is a very busy man! I will try to do my best with ALL requests. Remember autographs are from 6:00 to 6:15 on Saturday nite and hopefully you will get a wave from him at GM Carlisle. Please don not bombard him with requests! Thank you! Sam Scardino PR man for BBBenny Pfeiffer and "Mr. cheesesteak" himself Darren Costello. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Please put me on the autographed photo list also. I'd like to hang it in the shop between George Bush, Charlten Heston, and Rosey O'donell. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Darren Costello
 

Now I am really offended.

I'll actually be bringing my headshots with me so I can sign those. They already have the devil horns and arrow thru the head drawn in so they will save you some time. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Hey Sam, so what are we doing? Whiz, american or provolone? I don't wanna eat like a tourist cause I'll already be dressed like one.

Re: Darren Costello
 

How do i get an autographed one? Can someone post what color Crayons he will be signing with so I can pick out a matching frame

Kwizz is in Wisconsin where he belongs. Provolone is for Zeps, Italian hoagies and tourists. I am an American cheese man for my CS! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif P.S Mark, that is hilarious!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Re: Darren Costello
 

Darren, I am curious how a good "genuine" Philly cheesesteak sandwich compares with the ones from Augustino's. I had a 'real' one in Philly but it's been so many years ago I don't even remember what it was like https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif And, not like I can even get one from Augustino's any more https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Re: Darren Costello
 

GTO DON took me to Chinks about 3 years ago. Since then that is where I go when I am down there. They are in the top 3 in the City I believe or anywhere. The place is about the size of a one car garage maybe not even. Better than Genos and Pats in my opinion. But any place in Philadelphia is better than what you guys get in your area!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif I am going to take the St. Charles man to Norristown for a Zep also. He will have a food report when he returns home for you guys. Darren's visit is just a little short for all the eating we have to do! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif Darren will be coming home thin and trim as always and I will become even a fatter a$$ after all the grub!

Bill, that is exactly the comparison I was going to make. I will let you know.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Darren Costello
 

Don't forget your camera! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: Darren Costello
 

If you're looking for the best cheesesteak in Philly...IMHO it's at Jim's on South Street. I recommend "extra whiz wit" and throw on some "dried hots" for some kick.

Re: Darren Costello
 

A very good place! I also love the hot peppers! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Re: Darren Costello
 

If they ever built a Portillo's out East......u guy's wood know wat reel "Eats" is...........But.......Can't blame you for eating what's there now.......(Except the Mustard and Pretzel thing)

Ok, I'm here. Sammy picked me up and we went directly to Geno's for a Cheese Steak. Awesome. Then we drove around downtown a bit and end up spending some time with GTO_DON at his shop. Off to a great start. Will be posting pictures when I get back. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Carlisle begins...
 

You've got to eat a cheese steak everyday if you are only there for the weekend!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Carlisle begins...
 

I think I ate more than my share after today. I'll have a picture of the steak I ate for dinner today. It was like a football. It was delicious but that's it for the year!


Doh! I see I am signed in as Sam.. Carlisle was great. Saw a ton of friends. Plenty of people I have never met face to face. Too many to list here. I took many pictures but will post and summarize about all the great cars when I return home. Gotta rest cause Lansdale is tomorrow. Apparently the PA equavalent to Lombard. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Carlisle begins...
 

Is there a comperable event to Carlisle on the West Coast? I always thought it was pronounced "Carlsie" until corrected recently. How was the weather for the event? It was 103 degrees here in Santa Cruz today and we are right on the ocean.

Re: Carlisle begins...
 

The weather so far at Carlisle is great. Real nice on Friday with a breeze. Man you guys should have seen ALL the real nice 1967 Z/28's. Had to be 6 or 7 there on Friday. Had a lot of laughs with Big John Karvonen, Steve Shauger, GTO DON, Marlin and BBBenny the "Docs Man." We were also picking on Doug Perry a little bit and his COPO. Man is that a nice car! Getting ready to take Darren out for breakfast which will be scrapple and eggs this morning! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif Sammy

Re: Carlisle begins...
 

See you in Landsdale!

Re: Carlisle begins...
 

I'll be the guy holding his stomach cause he ate too many cheese steaks. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Looking forward to it. See you later. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Carlisle begins...
 

Would you like some good ol PA Jerky?

On tour with the Mayor of Souderton
 

Well here we go.. I'd like to once again thank Sammy and Vera for a fantastic time. Really had the time of my life in PA. They are 2 of the finest people you will ever meet. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Here is a sample of the food part of the tour...

Off the plane and directly to South Philly.

Note: the contents of the cup is Birch Beer. Something that doesn't make it to the midwest.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...o/IMG_2280.jpg

Was pretty full after so just walked over to Pat's and observed.

Next morning was Carlisle. No scrapple at the grounds as shown here. That was the next day and with a sample of dried creamed beef. But a decent breakfast for fair ground food. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...o/IMG_2311.jpg

After a long day of walking and looking at cars it was time for another steak. This time from Pudge's. This was the regular! My lense wasn't big enough to photo the large. Delicious! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif
