Happy Victory Monday and GO BIRDS!! Today we talk to "The Deli Boys," the tag team champions of hoagies: Matt Buddha and Beau Neidhardt of Liberty Kitchen. They give us the story behind their viral Kale Caesar hoagie and how they had to think fast to keep up with the sudden hype. We talk about Philly's obsession with hoagies and why you DO NOT call it a "sub", sandwich engineering (yes, it's a thing) and how they ended up on the Drew Barrymore Show.

On February 2nd at Live! Casino, join us at The Tasties for an unforgettable night of culinary excellence. Ceremony tickets are sold out, but you can still join the afterparty on our website
