"thats a nice!" cooks up the City of Brotherly Love and transforms FOX-TV News anchor Janet Zappala into an instant chef!

Fresh from the NASFT Summer Fancy Food Show in NYC, Joseph A. LoBue and Anthony J. Marciona, the men behind thats a nice!, made their Philadelphia TV debut with famed anchor woman Janet Zappala on FOX-TV’s "Fox Is Cooking" segment of "Good Day Philadelphia".

The guys from thats a nice! were featured on the morning news show at Janet’s own home, as she learned how to make two of the most requested recipes from thats a nice.com‘s website,: the "thats a nice.Muffaletta Sandwich" and "thats a nice.Sugo and Cauliflower". The handsome duo also showed the news staff and viewers how to make instant garlic bread with their newest product "bacio" , the Italian word for kiss.

Beginning the segment with a little Italian music, Joseph and Anthony demonstrated how you can become a gourmet chef instantly by using products from thats a nice!’s line of Gourmet Southern Italian prepared-foods and gifts. Supplying Janet with her own apron and chef’s hat was all that was needed to entertain and inform the viewers with easy recipes that took only minutes to prepare. Also featured on the show were the actual thats a nice! website pages including: "where to buy" with online links to retailers across the country, and the ever-growing "thats a nice.recipes" and "Sicilian Secrets" pages.

thats a nice! made its presence known in Philadelphia by receiving over 20,000 website hits during the actual broadcast, as well as gaining instant celebrity with Philadelphia’s TV viewers. Before leaving town, Joseph and Anthony trekked to the historic Italian Market district and received orders from a few of Philly’s most popular Gourmet Italian Specialty Stores.

thats a nice! "olivetta" and "bacio" are two of the company’s leading gourmet products, created for customers to enjoy cooking the southern italian way. Other thats a nice! products include: the award-winning "sugo"-sicilian marinara sauce, "sugo BOOM"-spicy sicilian pasta sauce, "sugo VEGGIE"-sautéed mushroom-asparagus pasta sauce and "primi piatti"-first course in premium gourmet pasta.
