East Coast Heritage
One item that has made Philadelphia famous and has been enjoyed by its natives is the hoagie. It reflects the strong presence of Italian heritage that began primarily in South Philadelphia, around the original colonial settlements. Some will dispute its origin, but no one can dispute its popularity there and in the surrounding region. Legend has it that the name involves Philadelphia’s Hog Island and originated during World War I. Italian shipyard workers combined meats and cheeses on long rolls and named them after the island. Others contend that the sandwich size was enough to fill a hog. While the legend, either this or others, may not be real, the strong ties to the community are undeniable.

Our Famous Culture
What you’ll find most interesting about Taste of Philly is that it’s not in fact a story about cheesesteaks — it’s a story about culture. It’s a story about a brand that quickly found out it had an amazing product, done better than anyone else. We strive to have the look and feel of a small town deli, but the refined process and quality ingredients of a large national brand.
