"Liberty Kitchen's breakfast sandwiches, cutlets, and hoagies will have you cosplaying as a tiger. Even something simple will be full of little surprises, like chianti provolone spread on a roast pork sandwich. The attention to detail makes eating these sandwiches (and tomato pie) feel like you're having bread with meat and cheese for the first time again. And, in Philly, that accomplishment should come with a key to the city." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"The small deli and market in Fishtown serves a roast pork with some surprising updates. Specifically, they layer braised pork shoulder, provolone chianti spread, long hot relish, and broccoli rabe on a seeded roll. It’s comically large, and has roughly a 50:50 meat-to-vegetable ratio. So you’ll get as much tender pork as you do sauteed, salty green bits. And the sweet, nutty provolone chianti spread makes it unlike any other roast pork in the city." - candis mclean
"Liberty Kitchen's focaccia-like slice dripping with olive oil should be the offering we give aliens to prove that Philly comes in peace. The sweet sauce takes on an almost caramelized texture. And the dough is soft, crispy, and a little charred at the same time—exactly how a tomato pie should be. Go to their Fishtown shop or Two Locals Brewing in University City and see for yourself." - candis mclean
"Liberty Kitchen is a full-service deli, bakery, and international grocer in Fishtown. You can pick up everything from French cheeses and Italian meats to Vietnamese chocolates, but when you’re really hungry, there’s nothing better than their Roasted Turkey Salumeria. Their crusty seeded roll is stacked with turkey, mild provolone, a housemade creamy balsamic, LTO, and their hellish pepper relish. The tangy balsamic and hot relish complement the smoky, slightly sweet turkey perfectly, making one unforgettable hoagie." - alison kessler, candis mclean
"Every neighborhood in Philly has about a thousand places where you can get a hoagie, some much better than others. Fishtown’s Liberty Kitchen is truly a standout, not only for its Della Casa hoagie with gabagool, fresh mozzarella, and arugula, but for the vegetarian version, too, made with roasted eggplant. Don’t sleep on the tomato pie and gussied-up Tandy Cakes, a play on one of Philly’s favorite packaged desserts." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
