The city of Philadelphia rose into the San Antonio spotlight on Thursday; not for its basketball team, but for its sandwiches. At the grand opening of Spurs forward Malik Rose’s new restaurant, dubbed “Malik’s Philly’s Phamous,” customers swarmed the shop to test out the classic Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches. Meanwhile, Rose cut the ribbon in front of the restaurant, realizing a dream that began when he joined the Spurs seven years ago.<br>
<br>
Serving up his hometown favorites, including Italian water ice and Tastycakes, Malik offers a taste of Philly right in the middle of the Quarry Market. “San Antonio has really been growing on me, and the only times I’ve wanted to get away from it is when I get homesick and want some of the things we serve here, like a water ice or a cheesesteak,” Rose said. “But now that we have [those foods] here, San Antonio is just that much greater.” With a guest list that included Mayor Ed Garza, the recently retired David Robinson and Spurs guard Tony Parker, Rose took time to greet fans and sign autographs at the grand opening. <br>
<br>
Several menu items are named in honor of past and current Spurs players, including MVP Tim Duncan. According to Rose, his teammates have been very supportive of his business venture all along. <br>
<br>
“I had to ban Timmy from the restaurant earlier because he was supporting one of our competitors, so I put him on cheesesteak punishment,” Rose said. “He just got off punishment, so if he acts right, he can continue to eat here.” <br>
<br>
After six years with the Spurs, Rose said he feels at home in San Antonio, and the crowd that crammed into Philly’s Phamous on Thursday reminds Rose that this is where he belongs. <br>
<br>
“The turnout was awesome,” Rose said. “Thank God for the city of San Antonio getting behind me the way they did and supporting my new restaurant.” <br>

What are some of the special menus they have? <p></p><i></i>

They have a wide variety of food, including a children's menu. The main attraction is the cheesesteak, but they have chicken sandwiches, hamburgers, and cold subs as well as pizza, salads and flavor ice. The onion rings and french fries are good as well. <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.sahoops.net/jackie/blondie4spursbanner.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

I have to get down there. I live in SA and I visit the Quarry frequently. The saddest part was that I had the chance to go and eat at Malik Rose's restaurant and I went to Chili's instead. <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"> <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://sahoops.net/banners/crissy.jpg"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--> <br>
