Every year 610 WIP’s Glen Macnow goes on a great journey to find the best of a popular food in the Delaware Valley. This year he tried 60 hoagies enroute to picking his favorite, Paesano’s.
New “six-stool, mostly takeout eatery” that just opened after Thanksgiving. “Delectable mix of mortadella, prosciutto and ham … perfect amount of sharp provolone … a dark green lettuce … on a crispy seeded roll,” Macnow writes. “Folks, we have ourselves a winner.”
The complete top ten:
Peasano’s
Sarcone’s Deli
Salumeria
Pastificio
Shank’s & Evelyn’s
Carlino’s Market
Pallante’s
Primo Hoagies
Carmen’s Deli
Abbruzzi and Giuntas
Macnow will let the public have their say on Saturday, June 13th at the King of Prussia Fox & Hound. Eight or so of the hoagies will be available for free from 11am to 1pm.
Sarcone’s Deli has live video streaming on their web site and that just tickles us for some reason.
Looks like just a couple people are waiting so hurry over for the Junkyard Special. By the way Sarcone’s is looking to move into their new digs next door sometime in early 2009.

Philadelphia newcomer Jael McMcHenry gives 30 reasons she loves Philadelphia and of course there’s lots of food reasons included.
Is it love, or infatuation? Am I completely enamored of Philadelphia because it’s the first new city I’ve moved to in almost a dozen years? Or because I’ve heard so many expectation-lowering information sessions, so many qualifiers and apologies, that I couldn’t help but find the city to be better than advertised?
The PhillyFoodGuys have a podcast up on their site where they have seven eateries square off for the title of best South Philadelphia Vegetarian Sandwich.
