Dave Hallewell

Dave Hallewell We started shooting the first of 2 'zep' stories for Eat PA 2 today. Today's zep stop was in Norristown, at Eve's Lunch. The staff loaded us up with a hefty stack of Zeps after we wrapped up shooting!

I guess you 2 still have jobs?

...getting paid to eat...the best "job" ever!
Ashley

Ashley D & D, Oregon Diner, Oregon Diner, Oregon Diner! Ralphs, Famous Deli, and Lorenzo's are also all favorites of mine whenever I find myself in Philly.
Also, so glad you chose Geno's (I'm a Geno's girl) over that dimly lit, lesser establishment across the street.

Dave Hallewell Operation Geno's for dinner a big success! The best grab-n-go sandwich in PA by far.

Dave
Dave
Not yet. We'll give it another 2 months and it should come back
David

I'd like to see Dave & Dave go to an organic farm
and eat a veggie burger!
Dave & Dave

Dave & Dave We made it to Philly in a very uneventful manner...something new for us. Frank doesn't know what 'potable' means and we saw a guy from Brighton Heights in Morgantown, PA. It's a small world after all. Resting at our hotel next to Citizen's Bank Park and will be out exploring soon.

Dave
Dave
See above Lynne! Good call for sure.
Sandra Rebholz

Sandra Rebholz You really MUST visit the original Philly Cheese Steak in South Philly! And the other restaurant that used to be very popular is Bookbinder's.

Sandra

Dave & Dave

Dave & Dave And before we go, a quick kudos to Pyrotechnico, the company who shot off the fireworks on the 4th. Very nicely done, even though your name isn't Zambelli.

Krissy
Krissy
D & D.. I agree, they did a great job !!!
Deb
Deb
Agreed.. very good!
Dave & Dave

Dave & Dave We're off to Philly. Tune in here, at Twitter, and our web page for updates and the usual nonsense.

Jennifer Navolio

Jennifer Navolio I'd even make the coffee runs

Dave
Dave
Frank our cameraman brings his espresso machine on the road with us... so we don't have to run very far! Of course we still seem to be in Starbucks a few times a day?
Dave & Dave

Dave & Dave By the way, we had our first visit to the Hofbrau Haus yesterday at the South Side Works. After 4 hours of beer drinking, we can safely give them our hard-earned thumbs-up. I had lager, Dave H had dunkel.

Pennsylvania's first authentic Hofbräuhaus - modeled after the legendary 400+ year-old Hofbräuhaus in Munich, Germany - is here! Guests are now able to enjoy many of the traditions from Germany that have made Hofbräuhaus famous. ...
Dave
Dave
Nice fresh dunkel... had to get over the fact that I felt like I was cheating on Penn Brewery a little... Thankful for the back deck to escape the loud floor show.
Dave
Dave
Since it was July 1st, they did tap a new one with a big ceremony. Had a bitter aftertaste. Stuck w/ the dunkel. Thanks to Renee, Paula, Tonia & Frank for the beer-flavored laugh fest! (although Tonia had wine)
Connie McDowell McCardle

Connie McDowell McCardle D&D I'm new to facebook and then to find out that I can be a fan of DAVE AND DAVE. What could be better than that - Well, Pittsburgh 'N 'At was pretty good. Anyway, glad to be aboard. See you Saturday night.

Dave & Dave
Dave & Dave
Glad to have you on board Connie!
Dave
Dave
Hey Connie, I like your FB pic... very mysterious!
Dave & Dave

Dave & Dave Happy 4th of July weekend yinz guys! We'll talk to you again on Monday when we start our trip. Should be lots of stuff to talk about as we travel to Philly.

Dave & Dave
Dave & Dave
We will be eating Cheesesteaks no later than Tuesday...most likely Monday night
Dave & Dave

Dave & Dave On Monday, Dave Frank and I are heading to Philly for the 1st leg of our Eat PA 2 shoot. We plan on visiting the Reading Terminal Market in Philly, Eve's Lunch and Lou's Sandwich Shop in Norristown. Norristown is known for a sandwich called The Zep. We'll be blogging about that and all the other stuff along the way at www.wqed.org/daves

Dave

Troy Bogdan Have you guys ever seen this page . . .

. . . you may enjoy it!!

I know you've been to the altar of the Church Brew Works before . . .

Dave & Dave
Dave & Dave
Because it was cold, the wraps to our last 3 shows were shot in the very inviting Church Brew Works space.
Dave
Dave
mmm. beer!
Jennifer McCardle Copperthite

Jennifer McCardle Copperthite Hey Dave's. I caught you show while visiting my parents last year. LOVE IT! I'm so glad you have episodes online for us Pittsburgh transplants to watch. Someday I'm hoping to catch Pittsburgh 'n at.

Dave
Dave
Thanks for the kind words Jennifer! We hope to add A LOT more video to our website soon! We're also still working on getting the funding in place to get "Pittsburgh N'at" an official DVD release. Stay tuned for that... Thanks for taking the time to post!
Dave & Dave
Dave & Dave
Hopefully in the next month or so, the 50 or so videos we have up now should double. Some of them have never made it into our Saturday show. See them all at www.wqed.org/daves
Keith Peindl

Keith Peindl Sooo.. Just wondering... What month/year was your cover with TigerBeat?

Dave
Dave
Somewhere between Scott Baio and the Jonas Brothers... haha. The first issue ever sold in a brown wrapper!
Dave Hallewell

Dave Hallewell A week from Monday, Dave & Dave (& Frank too) are back on the road shooting stories for our upcoming special, "Eat PA 2!" The real show of course will take place in the van! Oh boy...

Dave
Dave
Hey Keith... Thanks for the salute... you caught me off guard. I was halfway through a fence building job at the house & was out of liquids! Perhaps dehydration was at work! Thanks again!
Dave & Dave
Dave & Dave
When I go there, I'm scared of the workers at the deli counter
Dave Hallewell

Dave Hallewell Sure Facebook is fun, but so is Twitter. If you haven't already joined us there, why not continue the conversation with Dave & Dave at our Twitter home: http://twitter.com/DAVEandDAVEshow We'll see ya on the other side!

Ashley

Ashley Dave & Dave, I was recently in Philadelphia and had to stop by John's Water Ice (sans spoon, of course) after seeing it on your Eat Pennsylvania show. Totally worth the pit stop.
Next up, 100 lb girl (that would be me) attempts to eat an entire Battleship at Triangle Bar & Grill, all in the name of supporting local public television programming. :)

Dave
Dave
Haha! Love John's Water Ice!! We're going to Philly in a few weeks to shoot some stories for "Eat PA 2" & I'm sure we'll stop in again... of course after our customary Geno's steak stop. THE BEST. (It's also funny that Frank our cameraman calls Anthony the owner 'John' all the time!) Good luck on the Battleship. It looks a lot bigger in ... Read Moreperson! Be sure to go with water when you go for the gold. I started with an iced tea & that may have cost me the last few inches of the challenge. Thanks so much for your support Ashley... we couldn't do what we do without you!
Dave
Dave
Pittsburgh = hoagie! Well put Dave.
Dave & Dave
Dave & Dave
I guess Frank was at John's last week when I was in Florida. I hope he remembered the name of the owner is Anthony and not "John"
Dave Hallewell

Dave Hallewell Just a reminder that WQED is airing Dave & Dave's "Strange PA" in glorious HD Thursday night at 8! http://www.wqed.org/tv/daves/index.php Ringing Rocks park, The Land of Little Horses, Gravity Hill & more!

Dave Hallewell

Dave Hallewell Okay since the 'other Dave' is vacationing with the Walt Disney folks, I'll just throw out a reminder that "Dave & Dave" are back on in their regular time slot (Saturday nights @ 10:30 & Sunday afternoons at 1). Tonight it's a mostly "North Side" show... and here's some inside info... Mark, the guy we hang out with in our "Aviary" story now works at Whole Foods. So if you're shopping there, look out for Mark the Bird Man and say hi.

Curtis Smith

Curtis Smith Dave and Dave we miss your Saturday night adventures tremendously. We moved to Bloomfield Iowa several months ago. The Iowa PBS gives us an hour of Red Green which sometimes is 59 minutes too much. If you ever get the time/budget to come out our way there are lots of interesting agriculture things in our area. (Besides the severe weather) My wife and I visited the American Gothic house several weeks ago. Everything here is a 2 hour drive.

Dave
Dave
Thanks for the kind words Curtis. We'd love to have the budget to expand to all things Iowa! If you visit our webpage www.wqed.org/daves we've got around 50 videos up there & add more all the time... so 2 mins into Red Green, do go online!!
Dave & Dave
Dave & Dave
Does Bloomfield, Iowa have a Bloomfield Bridge Tavern?
Curtis
Curtis
Lol, No..the only bar in town is unhappy about the recently passed no smoking ban and has a sign on the window "Communisim has finally come to Iowa!"
Sam

Sam just wanted to say hello! We partied with you guys in Windsor ON last year. I was coaching a womens hockey team and you guys stopped by the rink to the see us play. (Pittsburgh Piranhas)

We partied with you & your friends most of the afternoon! Good Stuff! Hope all is well!

Dave & Dave
Dave & Dave
Hey Sam - I remember it well, although I lost a lot of money betting on #21 (I think that was her #?) Hopefully we'll be able to come out for a game next season
Dave & Dave

Dave & Dave And a shout-out to Brian Heckman for becoming our 300th FB friend! Thanks to all 300 of you for following us 2 morons!

Krissy
Krissy
You are not morons! New show tomorrow ???
Dave & Dave
Dave & Dave
Not new, but there is a show on. Keep your fingers crossed - maybe the show that was supposed to air Thursday will air there instead
Christopher

Dina

Dina Had to head to Hank's Frozen Custard after reading your post weeks ago. Worth the trip!

Dave
Dave
Which Hank's did you hit? They were both great in their own unique ways!
Marie Sleigh

Marie Sleigh caught the tail end of your show tonight, what was the segment about the circus?

Dave
Dave
Dave & I aren't exactly sure what aired last night on WQED. We're still waiting for answers. Our "Offbeat Museums" show was scheduled for 8pm, but something went wrong for at least most of the hour. Getting all sorts of different reports from people of what was actually on... $%#&
Dave & Dave
Dave & Dave
Yeah, it was the North Side program on at 8:30...not sure what was on before that. A sneak peak of our Saturday show I guess we'll call that
Dave & Dave
Dave & Dave
The circus was when Cirque du Soleil came to the Burgh a few years ago.
Dave & Dave

Dave & Dave Less than 2 hours til D&D's Offbeat Museums (and my favorite show) in stunning HD on WQED13. Did I mention there is nothing else on tonight?

Dave
Dave
Trying to get to the bottom of what went wrong at WQED last night? I may have to go down to our master control with a taser if I don't get some answers soon!
Dave
Dave
Our chief engineer just sent me a note saying that only a minute and a half of the program was somehow recorded on our server & for some reason the tape of the show could not be located last night??? The plot thickens! wtf???
Ashley Ellibe

Ashley Ellibe so i caught the segment on is Pittsburgh Smarter than a 5th Grader... im offended! imma go study wikipedia! lol

Megan
Megan
I loved that episode.
Dave
Dave
I didn't even realize OnQ was showing those "5th Grader" segments this week! Why are we always the last to find these things out?
Dave & Dave

Dave & Dave Big week in D&D land: Offbeat Museums in HD on Thursday, our last free Steelers DVD giveaway on Friday, our Saturday show is back on...Saturday at 10:30, and if you have insomnia, at 3am Sunday morning, watch us hawking tix for Aussy Pink Floyd. Oy Oy Oy
