Hoagie O'Clock: Cutlet Italiano from How 'Bout A Hoagie
Best name for a hoagie spot ever, right?
Hoagie O'Clock: Cutlet Italiano from How 'Bout A Hoagie
I've been scoping out this newer hoagie spot (1300 Jackson St.) for a few weeks now - up there with Fabrizzio's How-U-Doin at 15th & Porter for "Best Sandwich Shop Name in South Philly" - and wondering if the food is any good. Its a neighborhood spot with a few groceries and hot coffee, and the usual South Philly deli decor of Eagles clippings and hand-written sandwich signs on the walls. The Italian "How Bout This Hoagie" special with mixed italian meats and sharp provolone on seeded bread was good but isn't knocking Cosmi's or Chickie's out of the top spots any time soon.
Where this place really excels are the chicken cutlets, hand-made and freshly cooked to order - a nice break from the disappointing lukewarm, dried out chicken-tender looking things that a lot of delis pass of as "cutlets". The Italiano comes with nicely sauteed, garlicky broccoli rabe, big chunks of sharp provolone, roasted longhots (that I swapped for the standard roasted red peppers) and a big pile of freshly sliced prosciutto. Definitely one of the better hoagie options in this area, within walking distance of Newbold and East Passyunk and super reasonable prices.
