Philly cheesesteak at Philly Grub. In Philadelphia, the debate of whether Geno's or Pat's has the best sandwich is epic, but in Miami-Dade, Philly Grub makes the most authentic version.

The original cheesesteak costs $8.76, or customize a tailgate box for $76 that includes an assortment of menu items. 8269 SW 124th St., Pinecrest; 786-250-5390; orderphillygrub.com.
Clam chowder at the Big Cheese. This hearty soup traditionally includes chopped clams, thick cream, and diced potatoes with a side of oyster crackers. A large batch of chowder from the Big Cheese will delight any diehard Patriot, and the unlikely source, typically known for its pizza, ladles up some wicked chowdah alongside freshly baked rolls for $4.25 a bowl. Place large orders in advance. 8080 SW 67th Ave., Miami; 786-509-7587; bigcheesemiami.com.
