Any suggestions on a food restaurant that have a great Philly Cheese Steak sandwich.

I assume that the person asking that question--sans question mark--is not interested in learning about restaurants that don't serve food.

A discussion about whether one would pay more for products made in the USA:

Of course .. but there are cravats ...

Well, cravats are probably not made in the USA anymore anyway.

So that is what you should respond too.

I'd think you'd get tired of proved wrong time after time.
