DiMattia’s Food Fight is more than a food podcast — it’s a fight for life
What started as a celebration of food and local culture has evolved into real conversations about recovery, resilience, identity, and the battles that shape who we become. Each episode dives into the stories behind the people — chefs, entrepreneurs, athletes, creators, and everyday fighters while using food as the common ground and life as the real opponent.
From bold, high-energy food episodes to deeply personal Fight for Life conversations, this podcast explores the wins, the losses, and everything in between. Addiction, mental health, reinvention, success, failure and nothing is off the table.
Based in Northeastern Pennsylvania, but rooted in universal struggle and growth, DiMattia’s Food Fight is about showing up, staying honest, and continuing to build — no matter what you’ve been through.
Because everyone is fighting something.
And some fights are worth sharing.
On this episode of DiMattia’s Food Fight Podcast, I sit down with a local team behind multiple PrimoHoagies locations to talk about what really goes into building a successful food franchise.
We get into why they chose Primo, what pulled them into the business, and how a South Philly sandwich shop turned into something much bigger. But this isn’t just about hoagies — it’s about the grind of ownership, the pressure to stay consistent, and the standards you have to meet every single day.
We talk ingredients, operations, and what people don’t see behind the counter. And of course… we get into the one thing that makes it all work.
The bread is the star.
We also talk about catering, growth, and what the future looks like when you’re trying to scale something the right way.
