Philadelphia Gift Baskets
The Philly Cheesesteak sandwich was created by Italian immigrants in the early 20th Century. Pat’s King of Steaks is the self-proclaimed originator of the thinly sliced steak and ironically their original creation didn’t have cheese on it. In the 1930’s, Pat and Harry Olivieri ran a hot dog stand and one day tried making a new sandwich which consisted of chopped beef and grilled onions. A passerby asked Pat to make one for him and after tasting it he recommended they give up the hot dogs and focus on the sandwich. Pat’s King of Steaks remains one of the top sellers of the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich to this day!
At the center of Philadelphia is the Reading Terminal Market, one of the oldest and largest food markets in the country. Founded in 1893, the building is a designated National Historic Landmark and it offers hundreds of various merchant’s foods and products, including Pennsylvania Dutch specialties. One of the markets original vendors, Bassett’s Ice Cream first signed their lease in 1893 and are still going strong. Another mainstay in the downtown area is McGillin’s Olde Ale House. McGillin’s has been serving patrons since 1860 and is the oldest continuously operated tavern in Philly.
Good food and spirits have always been a part of Philadelphia’s heritage and it’s no surprise judging from the longevity of some of the city’s most well-known eateries. The Chocolate Pizza Company knows a little something about quality and longevity. Their rich milk chocolate and decadent dark chocolate are both blended with their homemade English toffee from a local recipe dating back to 1919. The Chocolate Pizza Company has been creating chocolate gift baskets full of delectable chocolate treats for over three decades and they’re still going stronger than ever!
