At Liscio’s Bakery, we’re proud of the many great sandwich shops that use our bread. Our bread is our baby – we nurture it, raise it up, and soon it goes off to be married. We wouldn’t feel right if our beloved bread didn’t meet its soulmate. At Campo’s Deli, we know our rolls have met their rightful match.
Each week this year, we will be giving you a glimpse of a different sandwich shop that uses Liscio’s Bakery bread with our “Weekly Bites” column. Campo’s Deli is our first ever featured sandwich shop of the week!
Campo’s Deli is a family-run business, operating since 1947. Mike Campo, who is featured in the video, took over in 1975 and seems to be loving it! And why not, the guy makes a great sandwich.
They make quite a few tasty sandwiches at Campo’s, but none can outshine The Works — succulent ribeye beef, delicate fried onions, sweet bell peppers and grilled mushrooms. It takes the cheesesteak up a notch, for sure.
You can enjoy The Works and any of the other “Philly’s Favorites” at Campo’s in Old City, plus at Wells Fargo Center and Citizen’s Bank Park. Also, if your loved ones afar desire some Liscio’s love, you can ship Campo’s sandwiches anywhere in the country.
While crawling around the Web, we found Philly-based Drawing for Food’s blog post on P & S Hoagies. It features a hoagie called the “Godfather” that looks too good to be true!
“…the people were all lined up for sandwiches like the Godfather, jam-packed with sopressata and dry capicola on Liscio’s seeded bread, with roasted longhots added for 50 cents.”
Pictures of the Godfather and some of P & S Ravioli and Deli’s other offerings are available at Drawing for Food.
With each new year, it’s commonplace to make a resolution. Eat better, exercise more, start saving, stop smoking, adopt a kitten, create the next Facebook — everyone is working towards something. We’re no different.
So what is changing? Well, you may have seen Hunter Pence’s smiling face around our web site. He has joined the Liscio’s Bakery family for 2012. He’s related, not by blood, but by a common passion for excellence and a determined work ethic.
While Hunter has a Liscio’s-sized appetite, he is an elite professional athlete so nutrition and fitness play a big part of his life. Hunter will be contributing a nutrition column each month of 2012 to the Liscio’s Bakery Blog. We both believe that healthy eating and tasty eating should go hand-in-hand.
We’ll also be delivering plenty more recipes for you this year. Our featured recipes will be released weekly, made with fresh Liscio’s Bakery bread that you can pick up at your local ACME (or your local Liscio’s Bakery & Deli, if you live near one of our South Jersey locations). This week, look for a tasty take on bruschetta using the Liscio’s Bakery Italian bread loaf.
Each week we will also be showcasing a different carrier of Liscio’s bread. The best sandwich shops in Philly know it all starts with the bread. But do you know all the best sandwich shops in Philly? If you stick around, you will…
So what’s our resolution? We’re committing ourselves this year to offering healthier, tastier, and less expensive food than ever before. We’d love for you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter. Here’s to a great 2012, from our family to yours!
We’ve been going on and on about our bocce loaves lately. By now you probably know that the Liscio’s Bakery bocce loaf is the perfect vessel for soup, duck cheesesteaks, and everything in between (whatever that might be). We’re so proud of our bocce loaf that it takes center stage yet again this week in our featured recipe.
While some take this time of the year to migrate south to Florida, the Caribbean or Texas (looking at you, Hunter!), most of us are left to deal with winter. Which makes us the lucky ones, because we can fully enjoy the heartiness of this week’s recipe.
It’s sort of healthy (broccoli) and sort of fatty (cheeeeeeeese), which means this recipe is sure to be a crowd favorite. And of course, the only way to really enjoy this Broccoli-Cheddar soup is inside our hearty Bocce loaf!
Liscio’s bread bowls make a lovely home for your pet goldfish. Unfortunately, then you can’t have your bread and eat it too.
It’s been established that these scrumptious soup-holders are both functional and flavorful. We know you may be wondering, “Will I ever find a recipe worthy of a bowl so holy?” After scouring Grandma’s cookbooks, we can proudly say, “Yes.”
Dip your spoon (and your bowl) into this delicious vegetarian chili. It’s a healthier take on a hearty classic, so you won’t feel guilty about eating your bread bowl after you’re finished.
Meat lovers, this recipe has been carnivore-approved, but if you gotta have it, try a Duck Cheesesteak in a bread bowl.
Your New Year’s present from Liscio’s Bakery – our first video featuring the Hunter Pence.
The video includes footage of an interview with Chad Vilotti, co-owner of Liscio’s Bakery, during MyPHL17′s coverage of the Mummer’s Parade on New Year’s Day.
You can expect to see a lot more of Hunter for 2012. As our official spokesman, Hunter will be debuting his monthly nutrition column very soon.
Cold weather upon us, everyone could use a little warm-up. And what’s better than a hearty soup in a bread bowl? Answer: hearty soup in a Liscio’s bread bowl.
And we’re not just saying that. CBS Philly featured Liscio’s Bakery and our bread bowls (formally called a Bocce loaf) among the “Top Bread Bowls in Philadelphia.”
While you’re in the bread bowl mood, check out a video from our archives of the Eagles’ Winston Justice and Chef Matthew Levin, former executive chef at Rouge (who currently owns Adsum in Queen Village).
With just two short days left in the year of 2011, we’re remembering some moments from the past year.
The video pretty much says it all…enjoy!
