Was craving porchetta after being at a buddies party on the weekend where they had a whole pig from Eddystone in North York, so me and the Mrs made the trip out here today to give their version of porchetta a shot.
We were really excited especially after seeing the beautiful roasts sitting there, but alas, it was quite disappointing when we actually ate the sandwich and realized there isn't a single piece of crispy skin (cracklings) in the sandwich at all. They just take the meat out of the crispy skin and don't include ANY of it at all. What the hell is the reason for this? They are omitting the best part of the porchetta!
For this reason, I have to dock them 2 stars. I'd put both Eddystone's porchetta above Vicentina and Porchetta & Co's in Toronto above them as well. I just don't understand their reasoning for discarding the skin and not including any in the sandwich at all..
Maybe if we're lucky somebody who works here will read this and change their ways.. But I doubt it.
