Philadelphia-area transplant brings taste of home to San Diego
SAN DIEGO - Phillies fans traveling to San Diego for the National League Championship Series won't have to look hard to find Philadelphia's most popular hometown comfort food. More than 2,500 miles away from his hometown in Delaware County, Joe Crescenzo is whipping up Philly Cheesesteaks at his Philly-themed shop in San Diego. The Sharon Hill native has lived across county from more than 40 years, but he hasn't forgotten his roots. He even has authentic Amaroso rolls shipped to his home away from home. The Southern California shop looks more like a South Philly deli, with Eagles gear proudly displayed and Philly staples like Rocky and Tasty Cakes adorning the walls and countertops. Joe Crescenzo has started his Philly Cheesesteak shop in San Diego in the '70s.
