One potato, two potato .... If there’s one thing Americans love to eat on the Fourth of July weekend, it’s potato salad. Just ask Vince and Joe Vitale. Back in 1996, only days before the holiday and before Vince and Joe’s became Vince & Joe’s Gourmet Market, the brothers ran out of everyone’s favorite summer salad, throwing customers into a tizzy. 

“So, Enza, she says, ‘I know how to make potato salad,’” said Vince Vitale, Sr., who had popped into the gourmet market’s location in Shelby Township, to check on things for Vince & Joe’s Gourmet Market’s annual Italian festival from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.
