Big Daddy Celebrates Philly & Jersey Style

When Big Daddy gets in the mood to celebrate - he gets in the mood for his favorite dish - Extra Crispy Chicken Wings - at his favorite spot in Jersey for wings, the Jug Handle Inn.



Big Daddy was celebrating the great news regarding the renewal of Big Daddy's House on Food Network during a photo shoot this week at the Jug Handle Inn in Cinnamonson, NJ. As you can clearly see, the photographers and Chef Aaron were hard at work (hmmmm ... really?) during their photo shoot.


But when Big Daddy celebrates - he doesn't just dream about wings - he also dreams about his favorite hoagie spot - Carmen's Deli in Bellmawr, NJ.

But when owners Ron & Elaine challenged Big Daddy and claimed their newly minted cheesesteak was as good as their award winning hoagies -- Big Daddy (and bertski) had to investigate.

We take cheesesteak claims very seriously in the Philadelphia/NJ region so Big Daddy ordered 3 cheesesteaks and we put them through the official 3 step Philly/NJ cheesesteak tasting protocol ---




  1. open mouth
  2. enter steak
  3. tummy happy.




Awesome cheesesteak. Heaping portions of steak covered in melted American cheese and onions and covered with the official "hot pepper" of NJ - Hoagie Spread.

Big thanks to Ronny and Elaine from Carmen's Deli.

I love BIG DADDY'S show. I was upset when it stop airing. I am really glad to find out that it was picked up again for more shows. I really miss it. I wish that the foodnerwork would start showing the reruns of it until it airs again. I will be waiting for the airing in 09. I so happy that it is coming back.

I watched every episode of The Next Food Network Star hoping you would win. And the only thing better when you won was to hear your show would begin the next week.
I just love watching you. Your show is about food and the terrific way you cook. But the best part is watching your genuine love and excitement when you cook. It is a joyful experience watching you
I was upset, when after only a few episodes I couldn't find your show. But now that I see your reruns and know that you begin a second season in January all is well.
I just hope you go on for years and years.
