o make it to 100 years is an impressive feat on its own, in life and in business. A century of service to a community in any discipline requires at least a few things: a pioneering and awe-inspiring first generation; a product that decades of South Philadelphians clamor for; and successful generational support – children willing to take on their parents’ business and move it competitively into modern times. That was the kernel of where we

started with this Throwback Issue – what businesses and institutions have stayed afloat for a full 100 years and why? We knew the 9th Street Italian Market was ripe, and focused our second story on South Broad Street. But even the May 17, 2012 South Philly Review issue celebrating 65 years in South Philly, all 112 pages thick, feels like a relic with which to begin (in fact, John Lerro Candy’s Pasquale Lerro is on the cover of that issue, and we caught up with his grandson for the story on page nine). 100+ year-aged churches abound in South Philadelphia like Gloria Dei (Old Swedes’) Church, 916 S. Swan-

son St, which has welcomed parishioners since 1677. As do parks like Jefferson Square (deeded to the Union Army during the Civil War), banks like Prudential Savings, schools like Francis Scott Key (opening in 1889 at 2230 S. Eighth St.) or the former George W. Childs (debuting in 1894 at 1541 S. 17th St.), and then there’s community centers, Mummers, libraries, and eateries. The Italian Market as we know it didn’t get that commonly-known title until the 1970s when supermarkets were blossoming. But vendors, shops, and family-run businesses have been flourishing in Bella Vista

and the northern reaches of Passyunk Square since the late-19th century. Danny Fiorella’s been making sausage at Fiorella Brothers Sausage Co., 817 Christian St., for 50 years now. But their doors have been open since 1892. “I came to work here full-time in 1966; this September will be 50 years, and there’s not much that can happen that I haven’t already seen or experienced,� the great grandson of Luigi Fiorella said. “He came to America in 1892 at 19 years old. He came by himself to a strange country, opened a business, and 125 years later we’re still here. To me that’s a ASS &(1785< ^OUS ,,

EWabTcZ O\R eWaVTcZ To our Readers: Since 2012, when we celebrated our 65th anniversary, the South Philly Review has chosen to designate one May paper as our Throwback Issue. As you will see in reading staff writer Bill Chenevert’s two news accounts, we find ourselves very fortunate as South Philly residents to be so close to such enduring locations. To those of you with amazingly personal recollections of travels through the 9th Street Italian Market or connections with the Broad Street entities to whom we pay tribute, may you continue to see those locations as sources of pride and possibility. No matter how well-intentioned some proprietors are, we often must regretfully part with many establishments, with the sting

certainly comparable to the pain that we feel when losing a loved one. Here’s to the wherewithal that has allowed overseers to keep our chronicled sites going strong. May you all celebrate at least another century of stability, and may other locations nearing triple digits reach that ripe young age, too. Joseph Myers South Philly Review editor

James Callos South Philadelphia

As an Army veteran, retired police officer, historian and biologist, I understand war, criminals, and human behavior, both currently and throughout history. The type of country that Hillary Clinton wants to inflict on us is comparable to what is happening in Venezuela today, where people are killing dogs, cats, and pigeons just to relieve their hunger pains.

“I feel sorry for the 76ers, so maybe this will help to draw more fans and interest. I don’t have a problem with the thinking behind it all.� Dominic DeNaro, Front and Roseberry streets

BVS ¿ hh PWh To the Editor: It’s time for some truth-telling about the impact of the proposed Soda Tax. For the amount of profits that Coke and Pepsi have made off our communities, it is time that they start giving back. Big Soda can afford to pay the tax that is on them and not the consumer, as they have led us to believe. They can afford to take the hit. Our kids cannot afford not to have these programs fully funded. The proposed expansion of pre-K and the plan to rebuild parks, libraries and rec centers citywide means that the tax actually will CREATE JOBS – thousands of them, both construction and permanent jobs. Our communities are wise; they can see through the propaganda of the soda companies. We know that we need this tax to help bring Philadelphia out of poverty. By educating our kids from a young age, we ensure that they grow up to be productive members of our communities. Big Soda, stop the hype! The Soda Tax is good news for communities and jobs in Philadelphia! Betty Beaufort South Philadelphia

eading to a home on the 1200 block of Federal Street at 10:30 p.m. Monday, officers looking to tend to a burglary-in-progress call reportedly observed males loading ladders into the back of a Ford pickup truck, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. A witness went on to inform them that he had observed the two figures with the items, with an extension ladder going up to the second floor of the abode and a frame ladder leaning against the residence. Following positive identification and the determination that they did not have permission to enter the site, they arrested North Philadelphians Marcus Bradley and Nelson Pagan. Authorities, who said someone had forced open a window and had hammered holes into the ceiling, also learned through a relative that the owner of the property died approximately one month ago. They charged the individuals with criminal conspiracy, criminal mischief, criminal trespassing, and burglary. Neither had posted his $15,000 bail, and they await a May 31 preliminary hearing.

Police desire to detain two men who assaulted and robbed a male on Friday. At 10:20 p.m., the complainant, while waiting for his food outside New Happy Garden, 2226 S. Seventh St., when two unknown black individuals approached him, with the first demanding his money while pointing a gun at him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. After delivering one blow to his victim after a moment of noncompliance, the lead aggressor took his LG Cricket cell phone, with the criminals fleeing on foot by heading northbound on Seventh Street. Thomas Jefferson University Hospital personnel treated the man for a facial laceration and swelling.

The offender walked into Sunoco, 1100 S. 10th St., at 2:05 p.m. Sunday and approached the cashier, telling him to place the cash register’s contents in a bag, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The presence of a firearm led the worker to comply, giving the aggressor $30, an amount that caused him to say “That’s it?â€? before he headed southbound on 10th Street. The employee described the interloper as black, 20 to 25 years old, and 5-foot-9 to 6-foot-1; having a dark complexion, a thin build, and a beard; wearing a black wool coat with a hood, black sweatpants, and black and white sneakers.

names. I am not presuming a Republican would somehow serve as our city’s savior, but I am sure many others believe, like me, that a member of the Grand Old Party certainly could not make matters worse. 6) More playgrounds and libraries to appear: Yes, we have many wonderful facilities right now, but if this city and those aforementioned politicos can make pushes for their platforms, I would hope they would give some consideration to mine. Adding options equals increasing hope. 5) More festivals to keep us cognizant of our cultures: Around this time of year, two of my favorite words are “free� and “festival.� How I would love for more nationalities to grace South Philly with celebrations of their history and hopes for the future. 4) Italian Market to remain a thriving destination: At 37 years old, I must admit that I have not made that many ventures to the Italian Market, and that, my friends, is an oversight that needs immediate correction. Certain to enjoy this weekend’s festival (There goes that word again!) in the lovable location, I hope to spend the next six-plus decades taking in its diversity and charm. 3) South Philly Review to continue to reach doorsteps every Thursday: 2016 marks the 69th year for the South Philly Review, with yours truly being affiliated with the publication for roughly 10 percent of its existence. If I am fortunate to hit 100, here’s hoping the staff is enjoying penning papers for our 132nd year. 2) South Philly to continue to be the birthplace and residence of wonderfully talented people: I often feel, despite my frequent gripes (Trash, anyone?) that South Philly is the best place on earth. We have ample history to tout, but nothing resonates more than the residents of our expanse. May the hypothetical version of me smile at and commend those with vibrant natures and creative minds. 1) The Flyers to win the Stanley Cup: Being a fan of the Boston Red Sox since 1989, I can imagine what longer-tenured fans suffered through in waiting for the team to win a World Series, with 2004 ending the 86-year drought. I was born four years after the Flyers captured their second and mostrecent Stanley Cup championship, and, in my lifetime, they have fallen in the finals five times. I will never put my adoration for them on ice, so it is my divine hope that come my date with the century mark, I will be able to say I have taken a figurative swig from Lord Stanley’s Cup.

If I am fortunate enough, my 100th birthday would come in 2079, and if I am still kicking, I hope these 10 wishes will have come true for South Philly. 10) Repavement work to stop along Oregon Avenue: Recent walks along Oregon Avenue have turned into obstacles courses for me, as numerous crews have been working on both sides of the street to repave sidewalks. As soon I think the overall work has stopped, two or three more sets of signs and groups of guys appear and make me wonder how much longer I will have to show off the fancy footwork that I usually reserve for a tennis court. 9) Broad Street and Snyder Avenue to be less disgusting: I grew up in Southwest Philly, but numerous trips to South Philly made me overly aware of Broad and Snyder, which, God forgive me, I have re-christened Broad and Weirdo and a few other nouns that I will leave to your imagination. It is an undeniable eyesore at its best, and that is sad when one considers the inviting nature of the adjacent East Passyunk Avenue. 8) People to remove political endorsement signs from polls: I absolutely hate when I see such signs still hanging weeks after primary and general elections. All I ask is that folks strive to remove them with as much gusto as they used in placing them, especially when the offending material comes from losing candidates. 7) A Republican to occupy the Mayor’s office: I am a registered Republican, meaning I essentially have no political voice in this city. That often makes me quite irked, particularly when I think that no real progress occurs since it seems people can glide into office just by having a “D� by their

From the early 50’s through the late 60’s, the headquarters of the Order of the Sons of Italy, located at the corner of Federal and South Broad Streets, thrived as a hub for Italian-Americans living in South Philadelphia. The organization was equipped with a bowling alley located in the club’s basement used by club members for recreation and events. Today, Programs Employing People or PEP calls the club house home providing services to about 300 intellectually disabled annually.

organization founded in 1969. The organization was originally created by a group of South Philly mothers and community residents to offer a summer camp for their children with intellectual disabilities. PEP’s mission is to provide education, recreation, vocational training, job placement and in-home support services to people with disabilities, which include Down syndrome and autism, and to strengthen their relationships in the community. Over the past 46 years, PEP has greatly expanded its programs to better serve the needs of thousands of disabled adults and children.

PEP Bowl Though the organization has been serving the disabled since 1969, PEP may also be known in the community for its’ boutique, six lane bowling alley know as PEP Bowl. Mention PEP in a gathering of people who live and work in South Philly, more than a handful of them will probably have heard of PEP Bowl. Typically 13,000 or so people yearly have had the unique experienced and a fond memory of PEP Bowl as part of a celebration, as a member of a bowling league or bowled there just for fun. For rental or bowling league information, contact Dan at 215 952-BOWL or pepbowl@pepservices.org.

they’re actively courting Farm to City as a Fall Farmer’s Market. How very 2010s. John Lerro’s grandfather came to Philly from Italy in the late 1800s. If there’s one secret to staying alive as a candy business for a century, it’s “you make it to order and in smaller batches, and we’ve held off of preservatives,� he said. “We never really left South Philly� added Lerro, whose mother, Carmella, is waiting for you at 2434 S. Broad St. ready to inscribe your Easter eggs with your name. “That’s probably why we’re still there – you can’t go to a supermarket and put your name on an egg.� He remembers when “you used to have pharmacies on every corner and now it’s chains.� In 1920 a banana split cost $0.20 and a milkshake was half that. Ice cream was a John Lerro Candy tradition until grocery stores started selling the frozen treat in the ’60s. The Goldstein’s heyday was in the ’70s and ’80s, said Lea Talotta, the surviving spouse of late leader Vincent, Sr., who would’ve been 85 in July. “They were better times, people dressed with more dress clothing, and nowadays it’s jeans and a pullover shirt – people don’t get dressed up,� she lamented. Vinny told a story of his father’s fight against casual. When his father was in rehabilitation and going through exercises and walking on a treadmill, he brought him sneakers and sweatpants. He refused. “He wanted to work out in his Italian wool pants, suspenders and a tucked-in shirt,� the son remembered. “He didn’t own a pair of dungarees,� the late figure’s spouse responded.

inny Talotta says his father used to keep the books of Goldstein’s Men’s and Boys’ Wear, 2537 S. Broad St., in metalstudded notebooks that weighed nearly 20 pounds. “Now they Google you – ‘boys white suits’ and pops up this address – it’s a new generation and everything’s on the internet,� he said. At Methodist Hospital, 2301 S. Broad St., emergency patients used to arrive in horsedrawn carriages, now they can get a surgical procedure and be home later that day with nurses using “Smart Boards� (tablets with upto-date information). South Broad Street is at once a glimpse at South Philly’s past and its history. Goldstein’s has been in business since 1902, albeit primarily at its former location at 807 S. Sixth St., but the family business is still suiting countless boys for First Communions across South Philly and in New Jersey. Methodist was founded in Scott Stewart’s will with a $25,000 gift in 1877 and opened its doors with a Training School for Nurses in ’92. Marconi Plaza was created in 1914 and has hosted many Mummers Parades (City Council-approved in ’01) and nearly as many Columbus Day Parades, a timeless alchemy of family, friends, sun and celebration that transcends history. And John Lerro Candy, 2434 S. Broad St., hasn’t changed much in 100 years while watching independent businesses and pharmacies disappear across the city. More Centenarian establishments and more great stories of South Philly history abound, collected in the spirit of a Throwback Issue that gazes 100 years or more into the past. The hospital, at Broad and Wolf streets, has changed in concert with the changing nature of

American history and politics – similarly going with the punches of the Great Depression and World Wars much in the way its neighbors evolved. Currently, it’s thriving with a partnership with Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (celebrating 20 years together this year) and boasts 182 licensed in-patient beds, 900 employees, and 700 physicians on staff receiving 40,000 Emergency Room visits, 36,000 Radiology stops, and 5,000 outpatient surgeries. “It’s a community hospital in an urban environment, which is kind of unusual,� Diane Pirollo, the executive director of the Methodist Hospital Foundation & Community Relations, a resident of the 1200 block of Fitzgerald Street, and a 2010 South Philly Review Difference Maker, said. “We’re very conscious that Methodist is one of the cornerstones of the community.� It boomed with babies in the 1960s, was ground zero for “Broad Street Bullies� celebrations in ’74 and ’75, renovated outdated spaces in the ’80s and welcomed the Internet in the ’90s. Janet DeLuca, of the 2900 block of South Juniper Street, and the Secretary of the Friends of Marconi Plaza, can remember when she had to take a bus from the Snyder Avenue SEPTA stop when she commuted to Temple University (she graduated in 1972). “I went there as a kid, and it was great to take my kids as children. I always call [Marconi] an urban treasure – it’s set in the middle of a city neighborhood and it’s a nice open space,� she said. She’s seen her Friends group participate in just about every citywide Park and Clean-Up tradition and they’re excited about movie and music nights coming up this summer. She remembers when statues went into the park in ’75 and ’82 and though Marconi, 2700 S. Broad St., “was always a place to go get your water ice at Pop’s [, 1337 E. Oregon Ave.],� she says

ONORABLE MENTIONS: We couldn’t begin to include every strong institution in South Philly in two stories. These places also deserve historic distinction but didn’t weave their way into our Throwback Issue stories this week.

A Lower Moyamensing resident is sharing enthusiasm and displaying altruism as an in-demand disc jockey. ÂŽĂŠ0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Review Editor

;

inimizing malaise has always amounted to a practice that produces financial profit, but what about recognizing the emotional compensation for countering discomfort and creating contentment? For Eric Bartello, nothing nixes negativity better than music, and he has found himself on a respected campaign to engender joy as a perpetually positive, constantly considerate disc jockey. “It’s my supreme motivator,� the 41-year-old said outside South Philly Bar & Grill, 1235 E. Passyunk Ave., where on Saturday afternoon and evening he will help the business to mark its inclusion in the Italian Market Festival by spinning tunes, of his

maturation through music. “I know what it is to have troubles and fears, and I believe songs help us to forget about our problems and disappear into the message, the beat, or a combination of the two.� The resident of 11th Street and Oregon Avenue has enjoyed a residency at the Passyunk Square establishment since January, with Sunday night duties resulting in a 15 percent donation from food and beverage sales to participating Mummers clubs. Excited to assist its presence in the famous festival, Bartello believes his profession should promote enthusiasm at every turn, holding that enhancing happiness must be each practitioner’s purpose. “You have to be versatile and have some kind of connection with the crowd, which you absolutely must read,� the Lower Moyamensing dweller opined. “People want to have a good time, and I love what I do to get them even more thrilled. I don’t want to sound too pretentious, but I feel like a shaman who’s helping to will them to feel better about themselves and the possibilities out there for them in this world.� With “All Your Favorite Dance Music from the Throwbacks to the New Tracks� as

B?<;IJOB;I his tagline, Bartello has beckoned thousands of groove thing shakers to dance their cares away, with 30 percent of his gigs generating funds for philanthropic endeavors. He loves channeling his charm for charitable causes, finding the ability to show compassion among the chief beneficiaries of his vocation. “I don’t place limitations on what I want to involve myself with,� he said of his allegiance to such projects as Team Theresa, a 13-year-old Alex’s Lemonade Standsupporting brainchild that he has assisted since 2011 and that will receive funds for its annual softball tournament through a July 16 South Philly Bar & Grill gathering. “Those opportunities to spread a message and alleviate someone’s worries are always going to be close to my heart. I’m a very family-oriented guy, so anything that brings people together, which music certainly does, is going to have my admiration for as long as I live.� BARTELLO CREDITS HIS South Philly upbringing for inspiring so many enduring lessons on life. Growing up on Seventh Street and Oregon Avenue, he benefited from belonging to a family that sup-

ported talent and creative thinking. With brother Michael as his disc jockey mentor, he began to become fascinated with the discipline, as well as visual arts and computers, with the trinity leading to the July 7, 1999 creation of Projekt Studios, with the “k� mainly serving as an homage to the German electronic music band Kraftwerk. “My brother gave me great training,� he said of the introduction to his infatuation. “I have loved my time in this business, especially since I became fully invested in applying myself to it, and through Projekt Studios, I feel really accomplished and am especially proud of my mixes.� Bartello has regularly found himself in the mix as a touter of tunes and noted his presence in Philadelphia prompts him to become a tireless studier of local tastes, holding that fostering euphoria empowers him to feel enraptured, too. “This is, without a doubt, the ultimate high for me,� the captivated individual, who often lends his services to the South Philly Review for its functions, said of his sojourn. “Nothing brings people together in a more inclusive way than music. I don’t care what I’m doing or where I am.

You’re going to get the best out of me.� Horace Furness High School, 1900 S. Third St., received his devotion in an educational sense, as he graduated as his class valedictorian from the Pennsport institution. In a professional sense, Bartello had been working for Aramark through the Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad St., in 2009 when the death of his mother and a change in his marital status prompted him to alter his life’s course. “Aside from my daughters (Alexandria, a future Widener University registrant, and Julia, a student at the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St.), I needed to start to think about myself,� Bartello said. “Music registered as the obvious choice for me because on a subconscious level, I think music appeals to everyone, and I knew I could use it to help people to feel good. There have certainly been some times where everything hasn’t gone according to plan, but I wouldn’t wish for any other set of experiences.� Along with his South Philly Bar & Grill relationship and Mummers association, the latter yielding particularly strong ties

with the Fancy Brigades, the mirthful mixer has established connections with Casablanca in Warrington, will bring excitement to a crescendo at Cherry Hill’s Vera beginning May 27, foresees having a show on either the airwaves or the Internet by July, and is hoping to have Tate Publishing issue “Still Your Dad,� basically a children’s book with first-person narration from a single father, by the end of the year. “My philosophy is that every human being was put on this earth to serve a purpose,� Bartello said. “The way I look at employment and that sort of thing is that whatever you pick, you have to let it be something that you absolutely love to do,� Bartello confided. “When I come here for the Italian Market Festival and when I go anywhere, frankly, I will feel like a very fortunate guy because that’s just what I am, and I’ll never lose sight of that.� SPR Visit facebook.com/ProjektStudios/.

first met Mel Suplee in 1966. I had transferred to a job at the Defense Personnel Support Center in South Philadelphia (known as the Quartermasters to most of you) buying medical supplies for the military. Mel was a tall, lean guy with a long face, whose only interest in clothing seemed to be utilitarian at best. Lyndon Johnson was President. Most of us still believed in The Vietnam War. In those days when I still bathed in the afterglow of Kennedy’s Camelot, conservatives were mostly referred to as reactionaries. Mel was a proud conservative. He was an intellectual when the Right still embraced intellectuals. His bible was William Buckley’s National Review. I was a Kennedy liberal when liberal wasn’t a dirty word. My bible was The New Republic. Forming a fast friendship with Mel Suplee seemed about as unlikely as getting a civil rights bill through Congress. Sometimes the unlikely meets the improbable and something beautiful emerges. He and I became friends friends disagreeing on many of the issues of the day, but friends nevertheless. And the Civil Rights Bill was passed with support from Republican Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen of Illinois. One of the things Mel and I did agree on was civil rights. He was the most fair-minded person I came to know. Not a prejudiced bone in his body, but one who could cut through a lot of the B.S. that surrounds political correctness (though it wasn’t called such at the time). He was the most well-informed person I knew. You could argue politics with Mel, but you had better have had your facts straight. It’s a wonder we were able to avoid getting fired because we’d get into these deep political discussions at work and forget about the time. Friends would tease us about being kind of an office version of Point-Counterpoint. Soon we were trading copies of The New Republic and The National Review. Mel would return my copy of former with passages underlined to signify points for discussion. A case in point about Mel’s honesty. Sometimes, honesty can be brutal, but friends are able to be brutally honest with one another and still remain friends. Mel had gotten a promotion as a supervisor in the Clothing and Textiles area developing the implementation of a new automated system. I applied for a vacancy on his team, but he didn’t hire me. Our friendship was not affected. By the time Mel retired, I was one of the

speakers at his luncheon. I mentioned that by that time, we agreed more than disagreed on issues. I guess I thought I had converted him to liberalism, and Mel likely believed that I had become much more conservative. We were both right. The key to our friendship was respect for one another’s views when we disagreed. When Mel decided to run as a Republican for Mayor in Bellmawr, New Jersey, I donated to his campaign and tried to rally support for him among my friends who lived in the town. Mel lost. Defeat didn’t deter him in what back then was a Democratic stronghold. He ran unsuccessfully several more times for office, including a run against then-popular Congressman Rob Andrews. He was Don Quixote tilting at windmills. Didn’t bother him. Mel enjoyed playing the fictitious Spaniard. I missed Mel terribly at work (oddly our friendship had never extended to our meeting socially outside the office). He got a job with Jefferson Hospital in Center City while I remained working for the Government. We began meeting periodically for lunch, both of us starved for our old political discussions. He was still a conservative Republican and I a liberal Democrat. George W. Bush was now the President. I had momentarily defected from the Democrats to vote for his father when George H. W. Bush ran against Michael Dukakis, but had quickly returned to the folds of the Democratic Party. Mel had remained faithful to the Republicans through the Watergate travails of Richard Nixon, the Ronald Reagan years and on afterward. Our entry into the Iraq War was in its early stages, a point when it looked as if American shock and awe would win the day. Believed in the existence of weapons of mass destruction. Believed nothing bad could come from ridding the world of Saddam Hussein. And then I fell out of love with the war. Became disillusioned when we couldn’t find any weapons of mass destruction. Believed we had been mistaken at best or, at worst, been deliberately deceived. Mel didn’t understand my reaction. He thought I had gone “wobbly� on the war, in his words. For the first time in my life, I was furious with him, although I didn’t express my anger, choosing instead to sit on it and let it fester. One night, I was sitting at a Phillies game when I noticed that Mel and his wife were seated about 10 rows in front of me. He never saw me and I didn’t bother to say “hello.� It was about a month later when I received notice that Mel had died suddenly from an aneurysm in his abdomen. Some nights, I still think of that last time I saw Mel. I see him at that game talking to his wife and me just sitting there stewing in my anger. And a sense of loss overwhelms me.

We’re a family-run business; we’ve been in business since 1892. I’m the fourth generation working here in the store. The grocery tax will double the prices on juice drinks, teas, sodas and many other items that we sell. It will impact our customers and hurt our businesses. That’s why we’re taking a stand.

The puff that dreams are made of

A

month from tomorrow, the third season of the year will arrive, and many locals will look for easy dishes to prepare for home-situated meals or social occasions. If you find yourself unimpressed with Internet finds or are tired of pawing through the same old cookbooks, let Gina Lucas deprive you of panic with her Light Summer Pasta recipe. The inhabitant of the 1300 block of East Passyunk Avenue completed the directions portion of the submission by saying “And enjoy.� When looking at the generous amounts of asparagus and locatelli cheese that the Passyunk Square dweller suggests, how could we not?

eople often inquire about what my favorite restaurant is. I really do not have one, but if I have enjoyed fine meals at several places, I will follow a specific chef if he or she opens a new restaurant. Several weeks ago, chefs Lee Styer of Fond, 1537 S. 11th St., and Joncarl Lachman of Noord, 1046 Tasker St., and Neuf, 943 S. Ninth St., joined culinary forces and opened The Dutch, a breakfast/brunch/lunch restaurant at 1527 S. Fourth St. I have savored a number of fine meals at Fond and Noord and looked forward to sampling a few items from the menu. You may recall this restaurant was the former location of 4th and Cross. Nothing has been done to the interior. It is a bright cheery space with a counter and general seating. Blue and white are the calming colors offset by spring tulips here and there in a riot of color. Rivel Brothers coffee ($3) was a bit weak for my taste, but it warmed me up on my first visit, which occurred on a cold, nasty day. The roasted mushroom omelette with Taleggio ($14) was an ode to France with a bit of Italy inside. The omelette was golden and moist as one would be served in France. The mushrooms were perfectly seasoned and were offset by the creamy burst of Taleggio, sometimes called the Brie of Italy. I actually prefer it. The omelette stayed piping hot throughout lunch. Good roasted potatoes, wheat toast, and a side of thick slice bacon ($6) kept me happy. So did the beet marmalade prepared by Styer. Sounds weird but it was actually tasty. The Cobb salad ($15) has undergone numerous changes since it was invented at The Brown Derby in Hollywood many years ago. I like it as a composed salad, but this version held true to the classic ingredients. Roast turkey, crisp bacon, blue cheese, salad greens, hard cooked eggs done up in beet juice and green goddess dressing formed the ingredient list. The salad required a bit more dressing, but it is always best to underdress and add more. Our second visit offered a number of culinary firsts and surprises. You must try Baby Dutch Savory Pancake ($11). The batter, with the inclusion of milk for a velvety texture, and well-beaten eggs are poured into a cast iron skillet. The large pancake was topped with scallions and tiny bits of bologna, heady with garlic, and allowed to set on top of the stove. The skillet goes into the oven, and what I got was one of the most delicious and unusual versions of a brunch dish I have ever tasted. The mixture is a cross between a creamy quiche and a pancake. A bit of superfine sugar was sprinkled on top. I added a wisp of salt and

P h o t o b y Ti n a G a r c e a u

nixed the syrup. This was perfection on a plate. A side of scrapple ($6) was crisped in a skillet and imparted the salty/peppery flavors that I enjoy most from this Pennsylvania Dutch invention. Baked goods change daily. A strawberry scone ($3) went well with coffee and would be a flavorful tea-time break. I prefer the British style scone, which is akin to a biscuit. It is flakey and buttery. This one is the way most American bakers make scones. It was crusty on the ouside and crumbly inside. One of the specials was asparagus on toast ($12). Styer’s creative juices were flowing with this creation. He roasted a handful of local asparagus, topped them with three sunny-side up eggs, added strips of red roasted peppers and topped the dish off with toast points. The combinations of flavors and textures could not have been finer. Styer noticed us and sent over a dish, which was another first. It was a bread pudding I have never tried. He takes thick cut challah from Essen Bakery, 1437 E. Passyunk Ave., mixes crushed bananas with well-beaten eggs, coats the challah in the mixture, bakes the bread pudding in the oven, and tops them with sliced banana and a quenelle of cinnamon whipped cream. Pure maple syrup mixed with chopped walnuts topped off the bread pudding in a fashion I had never sampled before. Servers and assistant servers kept everything on an even keel. I found a new brunch place and will return a number of times. I cannot not stop thinking about the banana/ challah bread pudding. Like the great Willie Mays, “it doesn’t get better than that.� Four tips of the toque to The Dutch. SPR

South Philly Bar & Grill’s Crab Cake Sandwich

uch is her unflagging fervor for cooking that Donna Eiden often gives away much of the food that she prepares within her Packer Park home. Since October, patrons at South Philly Bar & Grill, 1235 E. Passyunk Ave., have let their stomachs and dispositions become acquaintances with her competence and kindness through her line cook duties. “I like the joy of it,� the 51-year-old said of finding food preparation fascinating. “I’ve done a ton of waitressing, too, so I’ve been in this business for some time and really feel I fit in it.� With deep South Philly roots that include time on the 1000 and 2800 blocks of McKean Street, the humble hire values having an opportunity to work at the renowned Passyunk Square location that FOX 29 and PHL 17 have frequently honored as the Best Sports Bar in Philly. Lauding the leadership of owner Kenneth M. Brownell, whom she dubbed “an awesome guy to work for,� Eiden loves executing his extensive menu, finding that the options add to “the great bar atmosphere.� “There’s never a shortage of great people to interact with,� she said of the thriving spot. “It’s so inviting here, so we do our best to keep them coming.� She and her peers will certainly contend with a steady stream of guests this weekend, as the Italian Market Festival will find thousands of tempted tummies searching for relief. When they wander into her workplace, Eiden will excitedly put herself to the task of preparing long-familiar selections and items that she first learned how to make through her employment, including the Crab Cake Sandwich whose recipe she decided to share.

“It’s been great to get better at making food,� Eiden said, with mussels being another repertoire addition. “The crab cakes are something that Kenny loves to take pride in, so it’s a good one for us to share.� Served on a brioche bun with lettuce and tomato, french fries, coleslaw, and cocktail and tartar sauces, the $14 offering helps its preparer to know that no matter what the rest of her life might yield, a kitchen can constantly call on her to create pleasant experiences. “Cooking is always something that you can fall back on,� she said. “I love doing it here because it’s been a great influence on me.�

winning tradition and wanted to continue it,� the 18-year-old said of a stretch that yielded league plaques in 2009, ’11, and ’12, with another crown coming in his sophomore campaign. “I’m pretty fortunate to play for such a great program because Neumann-Goretti is my whole life, and I love it.� Entering the tilt against their Radnorbased adversaries in the middle of the playoff pack, the Saints sent senior righthanded Jeff Ciocco to the hill. The future Western Kentucky University Hilltopper surrendered a first-inning score, but his mates seemed destined to deliver a swift reply in the home half, with leadoff man Brian Verratti stroking a double and advancing to third on an error. D’Amore would reach

on a walk and swipe second, but the Saints had their patience tested when two whiffs ended the frame. Similar frustration occurred the next inning with two more runners left lonely on the bases. Over the next two innings, though, persistence would pay off for the hosts. OVER ITS STORIED run since 2009, Neumann-Goretti has always had roster members worthy of star status, but it has built a reputation as a foe that can find ample ways to win thanks to total devotion to the team dynamic. “That’s really what drew me here,� D’Amore said of joining the unit. “I just knew that the people here would want to help me to develop as a person.�

Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., baseball jersey learn a thing or 50 each time they take the field, meeting and exceeding those hopes strike the athletes as exciting endeavors never to fear. After a somewhat frustrating handling of the first two-thirds of their Catholic League slate, the Saints, 1736 S. 10th St., registered four consecutive wins, the last coming Monday with a 3-1 triumph over Archbishop Carroll. “I don’t care about the early struggles,� third-year coach Kevin Schneider said to the East Passyunk Crossing-based club following the victory at McNichol Field, 26th and Moore streets. “We’re where we need to be right now.� In running their record to 12-6, his charges finished a busy stretch that included five games in eight days, with the Carroll result teaming with league decisions over Bishop McDevitt, Bonner-Prendie, and ConwellEgan and Saturday’s Senior Day win over Prep Charter, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., to give them a perfect journey. Based on the four-game sweep against parochial opposition following a 3-5 start, the Saints earned the postseason’s fifth seed and will face Roman Catholic in Saturday’s 2:30 p.m. road quarterfinal matchup. “We needed to work out some problems, and I think we’ve made good adjustments,� third baseman and number three hole hitter Nicky D’Amore said. “Our goal is to sweep the titles, and we definitely feel ready for any test.� The resident of the 2400 block of South Hicks Street and his peers enjoyed a fine year last season, falling in the Catholic League and State title finals and claiming the District 12 Class AA City championship. Hankering to help his squad to make history, the senior leader knew the regular season finale would serve as a sign that they have regained their swagger and set out, as he has always done, to give them the best chance to thrive. “When I came here, I knew about the

With tutelage coming through the Delaware Valley Youth Athletic Association, 2840 S. 18th St., and the Del-Val Senators under coach Joe Gorman, father of ’12 Neumann-Goretti alumnus and two-time titlist Joey Gorman, he entered NeumannGoretti with the sincere and very practical hope that he would continue to strengthen its status as a perennial contender. Thanks in large part to him and Verratti, his teammate since age 7, the Saints have received amazing input from their seniors. No matter how diligent athletes’ voices are, though, limb lead to laurels, and the locals tied the contest in the third, with sophomore right-fielder Colin Eiser coming home on a double play ball. “Every team in this league is competitive, and that’s what makes every game a challenge,� D’Amore said of welcoming the Patriots, owners of a 4-7 mark in the 13-team league. “We were in a fight [for postseason seeding], so we had to get it done today.� After Ciocco completed his final inning, the Saints would go on to make him the pitcher of record in the fourth, with D’Amore plating sophomore designated hitter Joe LaFiora, who no-hit Archbishop Ryan April 6, and Verratti off an infield pop that held up in the air for what seemed like a lifetime before dropping fair around halfway between home plate and first base. “You have to write that it was a laser single,� assistant coach Nicky Nardini, another championship bearer, told yours truly of how to describe the fortunate hit. D’Amore likewise found the at-bat funny, and he flashed additional smiles over the next three innings as Ethan Pritchett, who will join him at Wagner University, allowed only one baserunner and twice struck out the side. Reflecting on his team’s late regular season push, the hot corner helmer did not find the success at all unexpected. “When you play for this team, you learn to give it all for your boys,� D’Amore said. “In fact, if you’re not prepared to be like that at this time of year no matter what team you’re on, you’re not going far.� SPR

You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances of my life You are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank You for all things as You confirm once again that I never want to be separated from You even in spite of all material illusions. I wish to be with You in eternal glory. Thank You for your mercy towards me and mine. This prayer must be said for three days and after three days the favor will be granted.
