Laspadas is up there now? So good.
The family sold the Laspadas in South Florida and moved to Central Florida.
“They have a bakery here in Florida and so we get them fresh every day, not frozen. It’s a great product,” says John LaSpada, Vincent’s dad, a Chester, Pennsylvania native and the man who brought his grandfather’s hoagies to Florida back in the ’70s.
“I was 23 and my wife, Mary, was 19 when we opened LaSpada’s in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea,” he tells me. LaSpada, 71, sold it to another family when he moved his to Central Florida, but it’s still operating. “They moved it across the street to a larger location because the store was so busy.”
