Owners Sean Ford and Renaud Cowez are the minds behind a new East Coast-syle eatery called Little Philly, which dishes out traditional cheesesteaks and other favorites from the "City of Brotherly Love."
Both Ford and Cowez have an esteemed background in the hospitality industry, with both partners collaborating on other local concepts like Beach Drive’s Tryst Gastro Lounge and cocktail spot Tropez.
Little Philly soft opened earlier this week at 2063 Central Ave. out of the former of Job Site Burgers space in the Grand Central District, adjacent to neighbors like Love Food Central, Trophy Fish and 2D Cafe.
While there’s no website or menu posted online just yet, ILovetheBurg says that Little Philly offers chicken cutlet sammies, hot dogs, water ice (a regional summer treat that slightly differs from Italian ice), sausage and pepper breakfast sandwiches and burgers in addition to its cheesesteaks.
Vegetarian options like mushroom cheesesteaks and a variety of Philly-based drinks are on the menu, too. And for all of the cheesesteak aficionados out there, Little Philly also offers a homemade version of the beloved, yet contentious Cheez Whiz.
And if you don’t want to trek to downtown St. Pete to get your East Coast fix, head to Dunedin’s beloved Delco’s, Colonial Corner in Pinellas Park (which serves “one of the best cheesesteaks outside of Philly” according to Philadelphia Magazine), or Historic Kenwood’s Violet Stone.
