I got some Deranger yesterday, and it was absolutely worth the drive down from my Bucks ruraldom. Got the kielbasy hoagie too, and God above, it was delicious. Stopped in the Port Richmond ‘hood and got some fresh to take home, had it last night with the best damned pierogis I’ve ever had (also from Port Richmond). Good day for eating. Gotta take the wife for dinner and try the Port Richmond Platter.
