The Bing
Rod Serling was from Binghamton. And hell, then it was considered a nice place to live. Wierd energy here. In a crowd of any size you can always tell someone from this town. There is a flavor of mean spirited humor here that you can't find anywhere else. We are also the carosel capitol of the world and home of the that food of the god's spedies.

What in the name of those gods are "spedies"?
It doesn't sound like something that should be edible ...

I checked google. It sent me to that one recipe, which may or may not be for what he's referring to, an elementary school page where someone misspelled "species", and a lot of guest book entries that MENTION spedies, without elaboration on what they actually are.
That's why I wuz askin'.

You can buy Lupos spiedie sauce on-line here. Stay away from Salamida brand because he is known to be what we in the consumin' business call an ASSHOLE. He tried to copyright the name spiedie when it was already in common use here 'bouts for all these marinated meat products, made by various Italian families in the area. My favorite is the Buffalo style spiedie from Spiedie and Rib Pit next to BU. Speidies, lettuce, tomato, blue cheese dressing, and hot sauce on a hoagie roll. Lamb is best but chicken, pork, and venison are also commonly used.
Binghamton has the Senator's AHL hockey franchise at the Veterans Arena and the New York Mets AA baseball team at a beautiful ballpark named for the local electric power monopoly. Its taken some economic hits but I still like the place.

so spiedie (griffs spelling helped ) is more about the marinade than the actual food product itself? i found quite a few kebab-type dishes, and a couple sandwich dishes, but the only common thread seemed to be the need for spiedie marinade.

I will be considering the possibility of actually venturing forth into the frightening, lawful, unarmed wilds of NYS. Hmm. Mebbe I'll just whip up a batch of the marinade instead. This looks GOOD. Does anyone know where that fabled King of Prussia location is? And if it's still in business?

I believe the Spiedie and Rib Pit folks are cousins of Lupos but there's some kind of family feud there. Excellent observation on the roll, Romas and Dirienzo are both excellent bakeries and those rolls hold up.
As far as making your own marinade, I've never had great success. Its basically an Italian dressing type spice blend but more subtle. I usually pick up Lupos or Middendorfs. When I was a kid, Middendorfs used to run a bbq out here that was major yummy chicken, steak, fries in there skins, salads etc...
