The Sopranos are having a moment. Spurred by everything from mid-pandemic Netflix binges to The Many Saints of Newark’s premiere, everyone’s favorite mafia family has found itself at the center of the cultural zeitgeist once again amongst fans new and old. And it just so happens that Dietz & Watson has launched a new Halloween campaign inspired by Tony Soprano’s favorite snack: capicola, or gabagool.
Scary Good Snacks
Dietz & Watson premium meats and cheeses of Philadelphia have something for everyone. So, they created a seasonal cooking show that features everything Dietz has to offer including everything for a spooky, ooky Halloween gathering. It’s called “Halloween Hosting with The Gabaghoul.”
Hoagie Bites Video!
Vincent Pastore (Big Pussy) has turned into a real ghoul. “The Gabaghoul” to be more specific – a meat and cheese-loving monster who’s here to show the world his culinary tips and tricks. And while he is certainly ghastly, he’s South Philly -born and bred with plenty of local attitude.
In short videos, he attempts to show the world his culinary tips and tricks, each of which gets thwarted by an unexpected mishap.
–In one spot, a bat flies away with one of his hotdogs, while, in another, salty snacks eerily float out of a Jack-o’-lantern.

The campaign launches today, October 12. If you want more Halloween-oriented recipes, please visit dietzandwatson.com/halloween.
You can learn more about Halloween meat and cheese recipes such as a Spooky Charcuterie Board, Mummy Dogs, and a Snackable Skeleton.
And you can see all the photos of these very Halloween-y foods!
Developed by its creative agency of record, Red Tettemer O’Connell + Partners (RTO+P), the new campaign builds on other fun, offbeat moments that Dietz & Watson has created over the past few years.
–In 2018 they launched Dietz Nuts, a packaged meat snack promoted by Craig Robinson.
–In 2019, they created Delishop, the world’s largest collection of meat and cheese apparel, in a pop-up storefront on Philadelphia’s South Street.
–The Gabaghoul fits in this tradition of “playing with your food.”
