Food industry gears up for a busy Super Bowl Sunday

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The big game means a big day for a lot of folks in the food industry.
At Delores Deli on 2nd Street, owner Peter Miglino spent the morning preparing 20 hoagie trays, their most in-demand order for the game.
"From chicken cutlet to veggie hoagies, to anything under the sun, we have it here, we make it happen," Miglino said.
He doesn't mind the rush either. Two years into the pandemic, he's come to appreciate busy days at work.

"It's been hard, but you know it's important that little businesses like this keep going. No matter how long it may take for you to get your sandwich, we're going to make it happen, just bear with us," he said.
The Super Bowl is one of the biggest days of the year for the food industry.
At Bernie's Pretzel Bakery in Aldan, the staff is baking up a storm.
"We'll probably have about 2,000 extra pretzels on top of the 6,000 that we normally do daily and then we'll have about 50 extra party trays," said owner Michaela Stewart.
She says she's ready for a fun day. While nothing will compare to the Eagles Super Bowl a few years ago, at least the Cowboys aren't in this game either.
"I know that I live in Eagles country here. And every time I drive to work, I get the finger, crossing the Ben Franklin Bridge every day in my Cowboys car," said John Belli, a Cowboys fan living in Cherry Hill.
