Philly brothers bring 'Great American Food Finds' home in new Food Network show

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- From Philly to the Food Network! Two brothers from the City of Brotherly Love take their passion for finding rare culinary specialties to the national stage.

If you have ever been to Green Aisle Grocery in the city, then you've surely met two homegrown stars on the rise.

Andrew and Adam Erace, South Philly born and raised, are brothers, grocers, foodies and now are the stars of the new Food Network show called "Great American Food Finds".

"We really do pride ourselves on finding the best of the best," said Adam.

"We really like to go find those special items that aren't here yet," said Andrew.

They search the country high and low for little culinary gems - the homemade, hand-crafted pride and joy of mom and pops.

Like Cape May sea salt - which is made from water in the Delaware Bay.

"And as far as I know this is the only place you can get it in Philly."

Another one of their finds is the Korean go-ju-jong sauce.

"This is Yongs. He's the owner of Giwa in Center City. It's made and bottled here in Philly and made in Philly," said Andrew.

These are the treasures Adam and Andrew have been stocking on the shelves of Green Aisle Grocery since they opened their first location on East Passyunk Avenue five and a half years ago.

They're opening a Fishtown store in a few weeks and at their store in Grays Ferry, they are also make and jar their own pickles, jams, vinegars - you name it.

"One of the highlights of our product line this the pistachio butter," said Andrew.

Ad they don't just make a homemade Dijon mustard, but...

"Di-jawn! We have to keep that Philly attitude in there ya know?" said Andrew.

"Every item on your shelf has a story that's what we do - tell the stories behind the food!" said Adam.

And that's exactly what their new show, "Great American Food Finds", is all about.

"Great American Food Finds" premieres this Monday night on the Food Network.

And the Erace family will be watching in South Philly at mom's house!
