FRANKLIN SQUARE

For John and Steve it is a convenient irony. Nestled among the storefronts just east of Franklin Avenue, T&F Pork Store could easily be just another store along the trail. The irony is that it has been at the exact same location now for 43 years and it would be difficult to find a local resident who doesn't know precisely where this Franklin Square institution is. T&F Pork Store & Italian Delicatessan - 928 Hempstead Tpke., Franklin Square - has been slicing everything from cold cuts to pork cutlets for the community since 1970... But their real claim to fame, according to co-owner John Carlino, is that "Nobody, but nobody, beats T&F's homemade sausage!"... "When we say homemade, we mean homemade," John says. "Our recipe came from our grandfather in Siciliy. He would make it in his house, all natural... no preservatives."
