CAD CULINARY BRANDS
Porcos Porchetteria
This walk-up speciality sandwich shop brand is modeled to serve traditional Italian street food Porchetta with a modern and fun aesthetic. With variations of the sandwich all served on house made whole wheat olive oil ciabatta, vegan options, and not-porchetta fare, Porco’s has been a Must-have concept in Philadelphia and tri-state areas. In the fast casual business framework, Porco’s makes slow pork and serves it fast out of the walk up window or via delivery apps. Porco’s team hand rolls, salt cures, slow roasts and hand slices every sandwich, everyday. We source the only local pork certified by the American Humane Association, this ensures all our pork is raised in a minimal stress, animal welfare environment. All our pork is 100% Natural Heritage Berkshire breeds raised on local family owned PA farms.

Breezy’s Deli and market
The name “Breezy’s” is an ode to the neighborhood, as well as a regular guest of Porco’s with a similar last name, and to a popular nearby cafe that shuttered its doors in 2016. Sure to quickly become another mainstay like Durkin’s other spots, Breezy’s is a bright beacon of community and redevelopment along Washington Avenue.
“As Washington Avenue improvements happen and it continues its course as a thriving business district, we aim to be the go-to market that is serving the community and its needs,” states Durkin. “So, what is Breezy’s? Think: What if a chef opened a Wawa, or a souped-up corner store? We want to offer approachable healthy convenience to the community and highlight local Philly and mid-Atlantic brands and products.”
At Breezy’s, chef-y hoagies, signature recipe smoothies and slushies from Botrista – a high-tech machine made from the minds at Tesla – Greenstreet coffee, grab-and-go offerings, plus local, fresh produce, and a complete grocery are the mainstays. Intended for neighbors and beyond, Breezy’s goal is to maintain a reasonable price point, with customer feedback and shopping patterns dictating how shelves are stocked.
Its inviting atmosphere will call to local residents and travelers alike. In the warmer months, Durkin will set outdoor tables and chairs around the building. Furthering his desire to create a space where communities converge, personal connections are fostered, and people are excited to gather, Durkin will make Breezy’s available to rent for private functions including birthday parties, baby and bridal showers, dinner parties, cocktail receptions, and corporate functions. Durkin will also offer private cooking classes at the market down the line.
