Top 5 Dishes We Hate to Love

1 Baby Back Ribs
Chili's, 1239 Filbert St., 215-569-0850

Maybe it's that damn commercial. Or maybe it's just the double-basted BBQ sauce treatment, but you gotta order the ribs. Try to request 'em without singing—we dare you. Get there by way of nachos, and this meal will stick to your ribs (and your dress shirt) for the rest of the week.

2 The Ruby Minis
Ruby Tuesday, 1625 Chestnut St., 215-568-6081

Just admit that you eat here already. The Ruby Minis are the cutest lil' burgers around, and those onion straws on top make us go aww every time. These handcrafted babies, which come four to an order, are easy to pick up but difficult to share. Unless you're some kind of saint, in which case, we wouldn't be hanging out with you in the first place.

3 Tour of Italy
Olive Garden, 1346 Chestnut St., 215-546-7950

You want a tour of Italy, but you've got 12 kids and you're on a budget? Nessun problema. Live vicariously through this trio of Italian specialties, all served on one plate: lasagna, classic chicken parmigiana and creamy fettuccine Alfredo. Even the Sopranos would approve.

4 Loaded Potato Skins
TGI Friday's, 1776 Ben Franklin Pkwy., 215-665-8443

Who doesn't love foreplay? TG for TGI Friday's, the monster chain that practically trademarked finger foods. This stuffed-to-the-skins potato appetizer, loaded with fatty deliciousness in the form of cheddar cheese, bacon, sour cream and green onions, is worth its weight in flair.

5 Rock Your World Quesadilla
Hard Rock Cafe, 1113 Market St., 215-238-1000

Looking to dine with legends? (Sorry, grandparents don't count.) Classic rock nerds can delight in HRC's trivia and memorabilia, while their unfortunate dining partners get acquainted with this ooey-gooey cheesy quesadilla served with Joe Perry's Mango Peach Tango hot sauce, chicken, cheese and pineapple. Sure sounds better than hair metal.
