It will be a busy day for the folks at Chick’s Tavern this Saturday, September 17th!

In 2007, Chick’s Amy Chiccarine Young and her husband, former US Army Ranger and cancer survivor, Chris Young formed Ranger for a Cure to enhance the lives of children who are currently battling cancer in the Greater Philadelphia area through programs designed to raise money to support Pediatric cancer research and the Oncology Department at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.. Their day Saturday begins with their annual fundraiser:

The 5th Annual Ranger for a Cure Golf Outing

The Magic Tomato Pie

Here’s a follow-up on our original post on the Magic tomato pie:

We recently reported on the tremendous amount of activity on @conshybakery’s Twitter page and ConshohockenBakery’s Facebook page regarding the “magic” in the tomato pie. The buzz mounted over the fact that not only had the Flyers entered the playoffs unexpectedly, beat The Devils in just 5 games, but then went on to come back from an unthinkable 3 game deficit to The Montreal Canadiens Boston Bruins and win 4 in a row, then beat an overwhelming favorite Montreal Canadien team 4-2 to enter The Stanley Cup finals.

On Saturday night in Chicago the Flyers took on the Blackhawks for Game 1 and scored 5 goals only to lose in the end 6-5. None the less, record amounts of tomato pie,  for a Saturday of a holiday weekend, flew off the shelves of the bakery and were even served at local restaurants, although many fans had already headed to the beaches. Following the loss, fans still showed support for the magic of the pie in posts on facebook and twitter on a great offensive effort on the road.

Then Monday came, and their closing left the magic tomato pie out of reach and unavailable as they were closed for the holiday. “Not to worry,” came their rally cries yesterday, The Flyers had not shut-out any teams with the magic of the pie, they had simply won the series and would again. The bakery was open with a huge stock of pies ordered and The Flyers prevailed in an overtime victory at home 4-3.

The Flyers will play game 4 against The Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night. Will the tomato pie work it’s magic again?

“You can not deny the power of the pie!”

We’ll see………..

What is it about the pie???

Conshohocken Italian Bakery’s “Magic” Tomato Pie

There has been a frenzy of activity on @conshybakery’s Twitter page and ConshohockenBakery’s Facebook page regarding the “magic” in the tomato pie. What makes it magical? Fans of the pie have attributed the Flyers success to the amount of tomato pie consumed! Sales had increased dramatically on the days the Flyers were playing in the Stanley Cup Conference Finals. We all know how that ended up; a team with very little expectation of making it to the finals defeated The Montreal Canadiens in just 5 games!

Fans have started creating slogans such as “You can not deny the power of the pie,” and “STAN–LEY–CUP…it’s in the pie,” a take off on EA Sports’ slogan ” EA Sports–it’s in the game.” On twitter, tweets are being forwarded telling followers not to jinx The Flyers and “eat the magic pie.” As a longtime fan of both the Flyers and The Conshohocken Italian Bakery, I will admit to being one of those tweeters! I too, believe in the pie!

The popularity of The Conshocken Italian Bakery is evident, not only by their strong business throughout the region for over 37 years, but in fan reaction to their products since they entered the world of social media. Several blogs have been written about them since joining Twitter and they were even interviewed recently on their use of social media. In recent days new customers have been flocking to the bakery to sample the pie, vowing to return to stock up for The Stanley Cup Finals in which The Philadelphia Flyers will take on The Chicago Blackhawks. Once again, The Flyers are considered to be the underdogs, making the superstitious Flyer fans all the more likely to rush out to buy their “magical tomato pies.” No one knows for sure if the pie actually has “magic” powers, but like the bakery tweeted the other day, “is it worth finding out?”

Some local restaurants have jumped on the the opportunity to support The Flyers by offering complimentary “magical tomato pie” at the bar during the Flyers face-off on Saturday night! The restaurants that we are aware of at this time are:

The Boathouse

113 Fayette Street

Conshohocken
