Last weekend i was up in NY helping someone more home to VA. On the way home i couldn't resist the taste's of Phila PA and had to stop. Usually im all about Tony Luke's and stop there at night on the way through but it was sunday and i had to stop else where. So as i make my way through West philly i make my stop at Koch's Deli.
Koch's is a small deli located in West Philly. It has been a staple of the neighborhood for sometime now. Its popularity was made popular by being soo close to University of Pennsylvannia. When i had moved to Phila in 2000 i had stummbled upon this local spot as i only live half a block away. For a long time it was run by the Koch family but after Bobby's death in 2005 i believe it was sold. But not much has changed! Cold cuts still get passed out in line. The new owner is just as nice as Bob was to the customers and the place still makes a MEAN hoagie. So do yourself a favor an next time your in Philly stop by Koch's Deli and pic up one of the best sandwiches you will ever taste!
