Anthony Lucidonio Jr. (born March 12, 1962) better known as Tony Luke, Jr. is an American actor, TV host, screenwriter, songwriter, restaurateur, sports reporter, and entrepreneur who founded the cheesesteak franchise Tony Luke's. ==Career== Tony Luke, Jr. was born in South Philadelphia. He attended Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts. Addicted to methamphetamine as a teenager, he today says he uses that experience and the fighting and hustling of his youth to tell kids that difficulties can be overcome.〔 After high school, Luke married at age 18. With a growing family to support, Luke went to work with his father in food trucks and other odd jobs. He was a state kickboxing champion in 1982-83.〔 In the early 1990s Luke, Jr., his father and his brother, Nicky, bought a property near the expressway in South Philadelphia. To avoid competition with other local businesses, the original Tony Luke's stand offered a more diversified menu, offering hoagies and other fare, along with cheesesteaks. Luke Jr. soon took over the store's marketing.〔 Eventually, the business grew to include several locations in the Philadelphia area and a line of frozen sandwiches. Through a partnership with Rastelli Foods Group, the business now has several franchised locations in Bahrain.〔 In 2011, after 31 years of marriage, Luke, Jr. and his wife divorced. Luke, Jr. has three sons, all of whom work for him. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tony Luke, Jr.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
