As a transplanted Philadelphian of seven years, this is the best.
Nothing comes close around here because of the bread.
The Best of Philly Deli brings in the Italian bread from the East coast and it is delicious. Anyway the owners name is Steve. Tall him Karl and Jodee tipped you off. Unfortunately, Steve DeSantis owner of the Best of the Philly Deli closed in spring of 1998 and moved back to the Philadelphia area. I am in total withdrawl and have to rely on poor substitutes on wheat bread.
