It's weird how i will delay trying something that's right under my nose for so long.
Not this time, i finally grabbed a porchetta sandwich and half-chicken for work.
This is about as upscale as a take-out counter can be, beautiful floor, decor and presentation.
There are 3 types of porchetta ($8), i tried the one with marinated onions and french mustard.
The sandwich is not gigantic but it is loaded with meat, a few items like tomato and raw onions would have helped for me. The closest thing i can compare it to is the Portuguese bifana sandwich but the quality and the cut of meat is much superior.
I brought the chicken for guys at work but tasted some of it and it is exquisite rotisserie style with the most heavenly potatoes ($12 and they threw in a bread when i asked). The only thing missing is some type of hot sauce for the chicken, but I always have my own on standby.
There are more locations now and there's also Porco in NDG, so maybe our fair city is falling in love with another delicacy.
