According to Phil's facebook page, the musumeci's deli was ranked as the #1 "Hole in the wall" restaurant in SLC. http://www.cityweekly.net/utah/article-7673-best-of-utah-2009-food-drink.html. I would agree with them, however there are some protocols that need to be fol
lowed when enjoying the deli.
lowed when enjoying the deli. Do: Know what you want when you step up to the cash register. I've seen many a man crumble under the pressure placed upon the undecided even the quick thinking Derek Wessman fumbled when squeezed by the Sicilian duo. I've heard that Phil has been referred to as the "Pasta Nazi"
Don't: Bring outside food! This is a biggie and if you do find you're self breaking this one Don't be a smart ass about it. There was a fella who broke both these rules once. He almost didn't live to tell about it. He brought some of the
competitors food in and took a seat. The Phil's are great guys but come on, they've got a business to run. Plus they have the biggest "No Outside Food or Drink" sign in any restaurant ever. So this dude was a punk to begin with. He was told to move on and took exception. He sprayed the Musumeci's with obscenities then found out real quick why you shouldn't do that in a Sicilian kitchen. Papa Phil chased the punk out and according to Phil just happened to have a knife in his hand cause he was cutting bread. I'm just glad for everyone that punk dude got away so Phil could make that claim.Do: Buy a sandwich from them cause they're great. enough said
Don't: Ask Phil Sr. if he is connected to the mob. Besides being ethnically insensitive, why would he tell you? And if the answer is yes then you would probably wish you hadn'
t asked. One time younger Phil asked his dad and his dads response was "whats the mob?"Do: Tell Phil Sr. that soccer sucks and American football is the best. Only do this if you have a lot of time, because you are about to get an earful. I dare you.
I can't tell you how many times I've been to the deli, but every time I have thoroughly enjoyed myself and the two Phil's crazy antics I know all six of you people who read this blog have some more stories so please post them in the comments space
