Geno’s Steaks is a Philly staple. The owner, Joey Vento, died Tuesday at the age of 71. In November 2010, the owner underwent cancer surgery, but his death was caused by a heart-attack.
Joey started Geno’s Steaks in 1966 and since then, numerous celebrities, politicians and of course, all of Philadelphia became a fan. And not just a fan of the famous cheese steaks, but a fan of Joey as well. Mr. Vento was a well-liked and charismatic guy. My uncle lived in South Philly and I’ve been to Geno’s many, many times and met Mr. Vento a few times. His style, energy, jokes and that smile will be truly missed!
