| - THE SANDWICH
I had the porchetta sandwich with rapini (for an extra 75 cents). The pork was incredibly tender and juicy. It had the perfect amount of fat to it, which added such a wonderful flavour, as fat usually does. I liked the bits of fried belly that they threw in there. It added variety to the texture. The rapini was cooked just right - bright green and crunchy. Nothing worse than soggy, overcooked greens, wouldn't you say? The combo of fatty pork and rapini was just right! I appreciated the freshness against the more heavy flavour/feel of the pork.
My friend topped her sandwich with tomato sauce and truffle sauce and loved it. She said it was like having a nice rose sauce.
There are two types of Kozliks mustards for you to put on your sandwich/meat plate. And boy, they really picked two excellent Kozliks mustards! One was pretty potent and hot; the other was all whole-grains and less pungent. Both were excellent on my sandwich
THE SIDE OF ROASTED POTATO
Great potatoes! Some of the best I've had! They were very simple, but the texture was just right. Add a bit of mustard to that and you've got a great side for your sandwich/meat plate. Oh, and it's a good one to share with one other person!
SEATING
There are six stools in the joint, two by one wall and four by the front window. They are not comfortable stools, but will do if you are just in there for a quick, quick bite.
KITCHEN
looks very clean. Makes the experience even more enjoyable.
SERVICE/STAFF
Friendly staff! I asked them if they were tired of pork yet and they each had something to say about their relationship with the Porchetta pork (which was that they have one every shift, even after seven months of working there...and when they aren't working, they are thinking about the pork). When I went in with my two friends, there weren't other people, so the staff had time to chat with us.
IF YOU CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THE MEAT...
You can buy the pork by the half pound or the pound. I asked about it and they say they *pack* the container fulla meat for you. They will also add the crispy pork belly bits for no extra cost.
Excellent little joint. I will certainly be back.
