By Patrick Herron

Published September 1, 2022 at 6:48PM | Updated September 2, 2022 at 7:28AM

Filippo’s Italian Specialties at 1226 Triangle Ln in Wheaton has been listed for sale. The store tells us that the deli is in great standing and the reason for the sale is that “Filippo is just ready to retire.” Filippo’s, which operated as Marchone’s until 2014, opened in 1955. Current owner Filippo Leo has worked at the deli for over 35 years and took over ownership back in 2012, a year after founder Thomas Marchone passed away. In 2020, Filippo’s won the TasteMoCo tournament for “Best Deli” in Montgomery County, beating out 31 other delis that had all been nominated by readers of the MoCoShow to win the award.

From the listing: “An Absolute gem in the Wheaton community! A well known sub shop/deli that has an amazing and loyal customer base. The deli has stood the test of time with their famous subs and grocery section. The winner of the “Best Deli in Montgomery County” in 2020 by the MoCo Show, they strive to have continual excellence and give the best service they can. With a sizable walk-in fridge and walk-in freezer there is plenty of space for supplies. The store is always left clean and is in good standing with all vendors.”

Pop-Up Poutine Named One of The Best Places For Poutine In America

By Patrick Herron

Published August 27, 2022 at 8:12PM | Updated August 27, 2022 at 10:26PM

Rockville’s Pop-Up Poutine has been named one of the best places for poutine in America by TastingTable. Poutine is a popular Canadian dish consisting of French fries topped with cheese curds and gravy. As Canadians living in the US, the owners of the Pop-Up Poutine found it impossible to find good poutine, so they came up with their own cheese curd recipe and use a sauce/gravy base that’s imported from Montreal to create the most authentic poutine in the area.

You can order Pop-Up Poutine at their Rockville location (12712 Rock Creek Mill Rd 16 AA), or from one of their food trucks you’re likely to spot at local breweries, events, and festivals across the county. In addition to poutine, they’re also known for their imported Montreal smoked meat, a beef brisket that’s described as a cross between corned beef and pastrami (full menu at the bottom of article).
