Philadelphians are Singaporefueled by three things: brotherly love, the certainty that whatever year it is currently is going to be the Eagles' year, and a deep passion for cheesesteaks.
One local resident loved Philly cheesesteaks so deeply that he asked his family to bury him with them.

According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, Lussi told his son John and grandson Dominic that he'd like that something to be a cheesesteak from Pat's -- one of Philadelphia's famous cheesesteak restaurants.
On the day before Lussi's funeral, John and Dominic drove to Pat's King of Steaks in Philadelphia and picked up two cheesesteaks. They placed the cheesesteaks in Lussi's coffin, as was his wish.
"We were just going to get one but my pop always said ‘If you’re going to Pat’s you always get two, you never order just one. It’s a waste of time,'" said Dominic Lussi.

A cheesesteak from Pat's King of Steaks sits on a table where Democratic National Committee (DNC) representatives considering where to host the 2016 convention, ate lunch in Philadelphia. Democrats have selected Philadelphia as the site of the party's 2016 national convention, choosing a patriotic backdrop for the nomination of its next presidential candidate. The Democratic National Committee said the convention will be held the week of July 25, 2016. The two other finalists were Brooklyn, New York, and Columbus, Ohio

Odd, for sure, but you know what? Probably true. These are good cheesesteaks, folks.
According to Lussi's family, Pat's was heavily featured on a picture board at the funeral, and Lussi was in fact buried with his bag of cheesesteaks.
2017 is the Eagles year.
