▼ FUN EATS MUG SHOTS AND HOAGIES

Some say the meatballs at Genco Sand- tage | a rt | Film dish m usi C wiches are so good, it’s almost a crime. At least, that’s what you might think after taking a look at the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea deli’s Instagram account, where you’ll see a daily Godfather-themed mug-shot post of a hungry patron. Not all of them were booked for the meatballs — a beef, pork, and veal recipe that even Italian cook Steve Martorano gave two thumbs up — but they’re still considered a member of the Corleone family. Of course, there’s no real crime going on at Genco Sandwiches, where owner Glenn Sca- lia says he started taking booking-style photos of his customers against a lineup-style back- drop four months ago. The idea, he says, was a fun way to carry on his shop’s Mob theme.

Many are named for the Godfather movies: Sonny, Carlo, and Franky “Five Angels.” Scalia — who graduated from culinary school before moving from Philadelphia to South Florida in 2011 — says the secret to his success is simple home-style cooking. Nearly everything on the Genco menu is homemade, from the mozzarella and pesto to the roasted peppers and broccoli rabe.
