Phillies fans traveling to San Diego for the National League Championship Series won't have to look hard to find Philadelphia's most popular hometown comfort food.
More than 2,500 miles away from his hometown in Delaware County, Joe Crescenzo is whipping up Philly Cheesesteaks at his Philly-themed shop in San Diego.
The Southern California shop looks more like a South Philly deli, with Eagles gear proudly displayed and Philly staples like Rocky and Tasty Cakes adorning the walls and countertops. "They come in and look at all the decor, they say ‘man reminds me of home’ and then they hear this accent, and then they really say 'I feel like I'm at home'," Crescenzo said.
"It's great out here, the weather is great, but my heart and my family and everybody there still in Philly," Crescenzo said.
