Delaware Valley residents and restaurants are preparing for the Kevin Kolb(pronounced cob) era to begin at quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. From Hoagie shops to candy stores plans to develop names for sandwiches, soups, salads and more for the rookie quarterback in the event he becomes a star have begun. "We've come up with a few zingers," said Marvin Topton, owner of The Crispy Sandwich on Mixton St. The "Corn on the Kolb" hoagie is being tested and has so far been met with rave reviews. The hoagie features two layers of turkey and cheese wrapped around an ear of corn served hot with a tangy dipping sauce. Pho 75, a Vietnamese Soup house on Washington Ave., is planning to test a soup that entails a chicken broth with an ear of corn in the center called: "I Prefer the Kolb Soup-The Soup you eat with your hands." Acme Supermarkets will introduce the Kolb Salad next month, but has remained silent on its contents.
Sally Barksdeer of the Naval Yard has tasted both,"Awesome! I had never eaten the actual cob before eating the Kolb Hoagie. Delicious!" Many chefs have hinted that if the quarterback is a hit so will the dishes, while others were hesitant. "We can't just throw anything into a sandwich and expect it to sell, but it does help if he succeeds," said Topton. One area candy maker plans on unveiling "Kolb Stoppers", a play on the candy "Gob Stoppers," for the holiday season.
