I came by on Mother's day since I assumed most brunch spots would be packed. After seeing the sign outside their restaurant for their Porchetta breakfast Sammy (porchetta, baked egg, crackling and smoked gouda), I was sold! The bread it was served on was the same bread they use for their regular sandwiches. The combination of the meat with the egg and smoked gouda was amazing... What I really liked about Porchetta was that they ensure each sandwich has a bit of crackling on it. Despite how bad it is for you, I could eat crackling like chips... yum!
My boyfriend got the regular porchetta sandwich and added mushrooms and rapini. He didn't want to add any of the extra sauces (truffle/tomato) because he really wanted to taste the meat. I found that the sandwich didn't really need any condiments, but I'm not sure this would be the case if we hadn't added the extra toppings. Next time I want to try the truffle sauce! We both really enjoyed this sandwich as well.. the meat was very moist and flavourful.
Things to keep in mind:
- the place is really tiny (about 5-6 stools max), so it's really catered to take-out
- cash only (we almost didn't have enough cash for our meal!)
- toppings cost extra ($0.25 to $0.95 each)
