restaurant in the country. Everything is made

Shank’s Chicken Italiano was recently voted
“Best Hot Sandwich” in the Philadelphia area
by 610 WIP sports radio, and their listeners.
The tradition of Shank’s dates back to 1962
when Shank’s and Evelyn’s opened its doors
to the Italian Market near 10th and Catherine
Streets. Shank’s, best known for its Giambotti,
hearty soups, steak sandwiches, roast beef,
pork, meatballs, chicken cutlet sandwiches,
and Italian greens, became an Italian Market
tradition. Zagat rated Shank’s year after year
for “the best sandwiches in the world.” Movie
stars, politicians, dignitaries and food lovers
from around the world frequented Shank’s for
nearly a half century making the luncheonette
famous for excellence in authentic Italian
food with no nonsense service.
