| - I'm a pork lover, and I'd heard so much hype about this place but finally had a chance to give it a go and I can't help but feel disappointed.
I ordered 1 plate, and 1 sandwich.
When you look on the company website, and when you think porchetta in general, you think of thick slices of pork. Assumably with a sandwich, you expect the pieces to probably be smaller to spread easier in the bun. Well the meat on both the sandwich and the plate looked exactly the same. And with the plate, you don't have the bun covering up the grease and huge chunks of fat. Don't get me wrong, I expect there to be fat. But not like giants chunks of inedible mediocrity found here. I also expected slices, not small chunks of meat that looked like it was scooped out with a ladle into the takeout container.
As for the sandwich... Needs more sauce selection. Am I the only one who thinks a BBQ sauce on pork makes sense? Because the marinara was pretty blah.
Also, don't bother ordering hot peppers. Instead of being able to put diced hot peppers on the sandwich, for 95 cents they give you a whole takeout container with a handful of whole jalapeno peppers. Why would I want to put a bunch of whole peppers in the sandwich. Or better yet, why would I ever just want them on the side?
My dining partners comments was "the bun was the best part".
I think that sums things up pretty well.
