Frank's Cabana Steaks - 12/22/15 01:50 AM

Anyone have any pictures of Frank's Cabana Steaks or any other Philadelphia Mafia Business. I have been past most of them but have never saw them when they were under mob control.

Thanks in advance

All i can share is that frank's was @ 10th & moyamensing..I have an old vhs tape recording of "Mobfather's" (nicky scarfo) w/ bill curtis that shows a quick news clip of a reporter standing outside of the joint speaking about how it was his headquaters right after sindone was clipped..the "front" was a cheesesteak & coffee place.

Yes, I also have the mobfathers docs from A&E. I also have been by the place but after it had changed hands and I am assuming it was not mobbed up when I saw it (don't know. Also saw Cous' Little Italy (both in 1993 or so). Cous' had the same structure but sold chicken and I believe Lake trout. I was just looking for a picture of how it looked in 70's early 80's.

Was just talkin' 2 a friend, he claims that this apt. bldg.(condo) @ 11 & christian was built & currently owned by a nephew /chef of georgy martorano..the big name chef who (I at this point wont give names cause he does'nt want the p.r.& as a sous chef myself can respect that) started small in mom's basement, now is all over Fla.,A.C...etc.

A major dj (ok, he won't deny it anyways, a friend of mine for yrs.,Jerry blavat, so i can mention his name,he's an honest dude)told me that the Mac 9 piece that joey used on scarf jr. in that fiasco was supplied by charlie white's kid..go figure. A fucked up try on the ladder @ that time 2 tell nicky sr. his day's were over.
