Woolsey’s Kitchen Equipment Going to Avenue Delicatessen

Posted by Foobooz on February 11th, 2013

Remember back in December when Peter Woolsey was looking to give away some of his old kitchen equipment? Well it’s been claimed. The Avenue Delicatessen is picking up the equipment this morning. Laura Frangiosa, who used to work for Woolsey is excited to be putting the equipment to use in her new Lansdowne Jewish/Italian delicatessen. As you might imagine, Frangiosa can’t say enough good things about the Bistrot La Minette owner and chef.

As for Avenue Delicatessen’s Kickstarter campaign for a sign, they hit that goal late Friday.

Shank’s & Evelyn’s is “relocating” from its South Philadelphia location of almost 50 years and considering a spot near the Union League at 15th and Sansom. Rick Nichols visits the institution now in its final days at 932 S 10th Street.

Hershel’s East Side Deli

Posted by Foobooz on June 7th, 2007

Elisa Ludwig takes a bite out of Hershel’s East Side Deli, the new Jewish deli in the Reading Terminal Market.
The pedigree is promising as owner Steven Safern’s father was a manager and partner in Katz’s Deli in New York. Hershel’s may not reach the level of that New York institution “but it’s a good nosh on the east side of Broad.”

Institution Lives On

Posted by Foobooz on December 1st, 2006

A year after the owner Bob Koch passed away, business at Koch’s Deli is still going strong and more importantly, what Bob Koch stood for still lives on.

If you’re waiting in line at Koch’s Take Out Shop, somebody will probably offer you a free pickle. You’ll at least be able to snatch up a slice of cheese or deli meat while you’re waiting to order.

These gestures may seem small, but the deli’s employees say they define the lasting legacy of Bob Koch, who died last year after owning and managing the business for more than 30 years.
