| "The
best of the big-name eateries was Tony Luke's Old Philly
Style Sandwiches on Oregon Avenue. Snug in the shadows
of the I-95 overpass, it has all the genuine South Philly
ambience one could want. The broad sidewalk awning is
lit with yellow neon. The walls are covered with celebrity
photos... Even better, Tony Luke's has a staff that seems
to relish heckling its clientele, a mix of business-men,
contractors and grand-mothers, as well as police and paramilitary
officers - ranking this among the best-armed lunch crowds
in town." |

Luke's was honored for two consecutive years by the internationally
renowned publication Gourmet Magazine . Tony Luke's was
featured in twice in Gourmet's annual "Best 180 Restaurants
in America" issue, placing it in the company of some
of the world's finest restaurants. In "America's Best
Restaurants 2000," Gourmet writes:
|
| |
| "Philadelphia
is famous for its sandwiches: hoagies, chili-sloughed Texas
wieners, steak lubricated with molten Cheez Whiz. But nothing
compares to the roast pork sandwich at Tony Luke's, a South
Philly takeout decorated with autographed photographs of
club boxers with names like The Jewish Bomber and Balls
Mahoney, and besieged by a line of hungry locals that stretches
far into the night. There's a cheesesteak, sure, even a
version made with ostrich. But it's the Italian pork sandwich
we dream about, a transcendent mess of garlicky pork, chewy
roll, and soft, pungent masses of broccoli rabe cooked down
until it reaches the consistency of heavenly sludge."
