As teenagers in South Philadelphia, Mae & Irv (Bub and Pop} Wagner fell in love and married in their early 20's. They both loved delicious home-style food, especially the delicacies of the 9th Street Italian Market. When Pop returned from WWII - a decorated hero earning 2 Medals of Valor - they bought a small corner grocery/deli in West Philly (a photo now hangs in the restaurant) and created their own style Italian Hoagie and Braised Beef Brisket Sandwiches. Almost 60 years later these sandwiches are the inspiration for our menu as their grandson, Chef Jon Taub reinvents these classics.
