Kanella vs. Vetri for Philly restaurant soccer dominance
On July 24, teams from Konstantinos Pitsillides' Kanella (1001 Spruce St.) and Marc Vetri's three Philly restaurants will square off in a fullscale, 11-on-11 soccer match in Fairmount to determine who's best at The Beautiful Game. Pitsillides, who actually played semi-pro ball both in his native Cyprus and in England, says he's pulling together a roster of his servers, cooks and dishwashers — "People that I know can kick the ball, hopefully" — to run up against Vetri's squad. They'll host a training session early next week. The chef, who promises more than a few slide-tackles, says he'll be playing a defensive-minded, Bill Russell-style player/manager role on his team. No official smacktalk from Vetri yet — he's a veteran of inter-restaurant athletic competitions, battling Jose Garces each year in a Thanksgiving-day football game — but we'll surely update when he chimes in.
