Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell is putting his money where his mouth is -- or at least his sandwiches where his mouth is.
Exultant that two Pennsylvania teams advanced in this weekend's American football playoffs, the governor has a Superbowl bet ready. The Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday defeated the San Diego Chargers for a berth in the AFC title game against the Baltimore Ravens, and the Philadelphia Eagles beat my New York Giants, and will take on the Arizona Cardinals for the NFC title.
From the Patriot-News in the capital city of Harrisburg:
"He will bet cheese steaks to go to a Pittsburgh-area senior center as well as a Pittsburgh-area homeless shelter if the Steelers win and Primanti (Bros.) sandwiches to go to a Philadelphia homeless shelter and senior center if the Eagles win," Rendell spokesman Chuck Ardo said.
I've never eaten Primanti sandwiches, but I've had some delicious Philadelphia cheese steaks. They were so good I'm carrying around bits of the sandwiches in my arteries as a souvenir.
