Anthony Lucidonio Jr. (born March 12, 1962)[1] better known as Tony Luke Jr. is an American restaurateur, actor, and media host who founded the cheesesteak franchise Tony Luke's.

Career

Luke was born in South Philadelphia. He attended Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts.[2]

Using methamphetamine and other drugs as a teenager, he now uses that experience and the fighting and hustling of his youth to tell kids that difficulties can be overcome.[3] In 2017, Luke's eldest son, Tony Luke III, died in his home from an accidental opioid overdose.[2]

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.[3]

He was a state kickboxing champion in 1982-83.[3]

In the early 1990s Luke, his brother, Nicky, and their father bought a property near the expressway in South Philadelphia. To compete 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.[3]

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.[3]

In 2011, after 31 years of marriage, Luke and his wife divorced. He has three sons, who all have worked for him.[3]
