Passyunk Avenue, a Philly-inspired food truck that has grown into three thriving locations in London, is set to expand its mouthwatering offerings to Dublin, Amsterdam, and other cities, thanks to its overwhelming success. JP Teti, the mastermind behind Passyunk Avenue, plans to bring the authentic taste of Philadelphia to even more hungry customers across Europe.

Born and raised in Lawrenceville, N.J., a short distance from Citizens Bank Park, Teti comes from an Italian immigrant family that settled in South Philadelphia decades ago. Growing up in a community that takes its food seriously, Teti developed a passion for the culinary delights that define Philadelphia, particularly the iconic cheesesteak.

Passyunk Avenue has become a hot spot for Phillies fans prior to the 2024 London Series between the Phillies and Mets at London Stadium. The cozy, Philly-themed bar has garnered a loyal following of homesick Philadelphians and British fans alike, creating a vibrant atmosphere filled with team spirit.

Teti's move to London in 2008 for a corporate role with Xerox made him realize the absence of authentic Philly delicacies in the city. Frustrated by the lack of hoagies, cheesesteaks, and Italian-American fusion dishes that he enjoyed as a child, Teti decided to take matters into his own hands and fill the gap in the market.

Setting up a Philly-inspired food truck was Teti's first step towards bringing the taste of South Philadelphia to Londoners. With meticulous attention to detail, he experimented with recipes and fine-tuned his creations, including a homemade bread recipe and a perfected Cheese Whiz. Teti refused to compromise on authenticity, going to great lengths to ensure the cheesesteaks were made with shaved ribeye steak, just like in Philly.

The genuine quality and deliciousness of Passyunk Avenue's offerings quickly gained popularity, leading to the establishment of three locations in London. Teti's passion for providing an authentic Philly experience has been warmly embraced by Philadelphians far from home and those curious to taste the city's culinary delights.

Encouraged by the overwhelming response, Teti now has ambitious plans for expansion beyond London. The success of Passyunk Avenue has sparked openings in Dublin, Amsterdam, and other cities to satisfy the cravings of even more people longing for a taste of Philadelphia.

As Teti embarks on this exciting chapter of expansion, he remains dedicated to upholding the high standards that define Passyunk Avenue. The commitment to authenticity and passion for true Philly flavors will be the foundation on which he builds his empire of deliciousness across Europe.

So, whether you're a homesick Philadelphian, an adventurous foodie, or a curious passerby, be sure to keep an eye out for Passyunk Avenue as it brings the taste of Philadelphia to an international audience, one delectable bite at a time.
