Korshak is Back — this time with Hot Dogs!

Welcome back to Pizza Quest!

The last we heard of Philip Korshak was when, in 2023, he closed his beloved Korshak’s Bagels, sending the city of Philadelphia into mourning, and then kind of dropped off the grid (with the exception of an occasional and instantly viral Instagram post). Well, the much-beloved man is back, right smack in the middle of the same South Philly Italian Market neighborhood where his sourdough bagels first took the city by storm. For the past three years he’s been on his own full-circle journey of reflection and self-discovery and he is here to share the tale, including where and when to find him when he opens his new bodega, Korshak Picnic Provisions, featuring his own take on all beef hot dogs served on sourdough buns and a new round of shmears and other goodies for the perfect art of the picnic. You’ll learn all about what Philadelphia Magazine calls “The Odyssey of Philip Korshak,” right here on this episode of Pizza Quest.
