Jeff Vogel - who has written 115 posts on Unbreaded.

Jeff Vogel is the co-creator and Managing Director of Unbreaded and Sandwich Smash, both born out of a desire to take a deeper look at what goes into the great sandwiches of a sandwich-rich city like Philadelphia. Prior to his work on Unbreaded, he served as Marketing Director for Philadelphia-based technology firm NeatReceipts, recognized as the city’s fastest growing company in 2007 and 2008. A lifelong Philadelphian, Vogel speaks kosher deli fluently and thinks everything tastes better when it’s been braised: “There’s something primal about holding onto your food and taking a bite that is far superior to eating with utensils.”
