  • When The Pig Came Home is located near the south west corner of Dundas and the end of High Park Ave in the Junction. Not since I've been to Shadow Meats Squared in Seattle did I have a truly transcendent almost out of body experience when having a sandwich. That was way back in 2014 and believe me when I say there have been many, many sandwiches consumed in the past 4 years that had the opportunity to bring me to the same place where SM2 was able to bring me to which was essentially sandwich Nirvana. When The Pig Came Home is a small footprint of a butcher shop along with serving made to order hot sandwiches. They have what is dubbed the original peameal on a bun for 5 bucks but with variations of this. I mean you can add an egg for a dollar or a slice of cheddar or double smoked bacon for another dollar. Basically you can get a fully loaded breakfast sandwich for 8 bucks. Porchetta under the lights, behind glass for your viewing pleasure much like the other restaurant for which it is their namesake. They have options to add rapini (yes it's called rapini not broccoli rabe you Americanos) or provolone for a buck or truffle sauce for 75 cents. If you've never had pork and rapini together let me tell you that it's a magical combination just like bacon and eggs or wings and beer. They truly go together like any other duo that just belongs to complement one another. Now the thing is I didn't order the sandwich this go around. It was my friend who had ordered what seemingly was a special called "The Ben" because I didn't know what was in it but I ate it. How's that for a review? I'm about to give 5 stars to something in which I didn't even know what it was exactly but at the time I didn't care. I mean this was a sandwich and not some sort of debilitating recreation drug. I've read before in the past of people trying to explain what it was like to experience crack cocaine. I mean I'm NOT into those type of things at all nor am I interested but I just remember reading somewhere where somebody tried to describe it as a full body orgasm. For me, this sandwich was as close as I could probably get to explaining it in words for simply just eating this "The Ben". Looking back at the picture because I was in some sort of trance when I was actually consuming half of this thing that came down from heaven to me it looks to be some sort of sandwich that looks like what's described above as peameal, smoked strip bacon, cheese and egg. I'd be lying if I told you that I knew exactly what I was eating or if I had even bothered to look between the bread. I just bit, chewed, went somewhere on a spiritual level, swallowed and repeated this process about 5 or 6 times before returning from where ever it was I went for those few minutes. I swear it had to be the best thing I remember eating since the Korean fried chicken at Turntable. It was that freaking good. I have to stop talking and thinking about this because now I want to go there and I can't really go just now. Besides having amazing sandwiches this place is also a butcher. Maybe it's a great idea to get a sandwich AND bring home some meat for good eats at home too. I'd most definitely buy some special types of bacon (yes, plural) for the future. The seating at this place is rather limited to just bar stool seating facing the front window. I noticed a few people taking hot food to go in additional to purchasing raw meat as well in the short time we were there which was just before closing.
