I think that any list of nearby restaurants that
SWLfesters have found to be good (and posted on
the swlfest.com website) should be limited to
those that SWLfesters have actually patronized
and found to be good--rather reviews simply
copied and pasted from Google, Yelp, etc with no
actual experience by SWLfesters.

Here are a couple places I found reviews of

sure they still exist. I got numerous hits that
will tell you more than you want to know about
them. The reviews I originally saw, included
below, make the places sound fascinating, but I
never seem to get to either of them, so cannot
vouch for them personally. Since they are
in/near downtown Norristown, parking might be a problem.

Before embarking on your review of this review,
there is one word that you need to
understand. That word is zep. Inquiring minds
may want to know what the "zep" is, so I will
expand your horizons of culinary understanding with the following definition:
A "zep" is a cold sandwich served on a round
kaisar roll (a hoagie roll is an acceptable
alternate) with provolone, cooked salami,
tomato, white onion, olive oil, and
oregano. Hot peppers can be added without
violating the "zepheitsgebot", the zep purity
law first codified in Norristown in the 1940's.
Now, the zep is not an Italian hoagie. It is
not even close. There is no lettuce. There is
no ham. There is no pepperoni. There is no
genoa salami. Do not walk into Lou's and
confuse the zep with the hoagie...this is a
fatal noob blunder that will immediately mark
you as an infidel and you will, like the poor
lost souls of the soup nazi, be cast out into
zep-less darkness where there is wailing and
gnashing of teeth and shattered dreams of zep eating bliss.
But, good reader, having been enlightened with
what a zep is, you now must make the sacred
pilgrimage to Norristown and partake of this local masterpiece.
Only then, when you have supped on the Lou's
zep, can you dare utter, "I have truly lived."

Santangelo's Café,
910 East Main Street, Norristown, PA - (610) 292-9912
Every once in a while, you come upon a
restaurant with food that is so good, and is
owned by people that are so nice, that you want
share it with everyone. The place I speak of is
Santangelo's. I have been dining here for
several years now and have always enjoyed, or
should I say raved about, the food. The best
description of their menu would have to be
"Italian Inspired and Regionally Appropriate."
Owners Mike Santangelo and his lovely wife
(whose name I can't remember right now) started
the business a couple of blocks away from their
current address. The old place was small,
holding maybe fifteen people, and was always
packed. Their new location is behind an office
building on Main Street in Norristown. It has a
beautiful open kitchen, a second level, and alfresco dining.
The menu is unique, and the specials board is
truly one of a kind. I highly recommend the
Italian omelette and the Meat Lovers breakfast
zep/hoagie. And don't forget to order roasted hot peppers. On everything!
Breakfast and lunch, seven days a week.
