At Porchetta, the Namesake Dish Is Just About the Whole Deal
Nice. My friend and I were there when you got there (we're in the window in the outside shot). Your photos beat the hell out of what I got from my cameraphone.
The Porchetta Sandwich was awesome. I agree, it could have been more moist, but the fennel pollen added an ethereal scent of licorice that I loved.
I'll definitely be back to try out the platter.

I love the recipes, hate all the cutesy bs. The hand gestures and sound effects need to go.
It's the biggest problem with FN, they have to make everything prettified and silly. Why does a real chef have to act like Rachel Ray and work in a crappy set when showing us tips of a professional kitchen? It doesn't make any sense.

Ooooh Crispy is so good, but pliant can work too.

I just had some incredible tortas in Mexico, so that's my favorite for the moment:
queso fresca, avocado, tomatoes and a smear of chipotle paste.
mmmm.

Porterhouse definitely. The first real steak I ever had was a Luger's Porterhouse. That said, I've had some great Ribeyes as well. . .

Hey Ed...
"SeriousPigFest" !
I think the time has come for a "Roast Pig Summit"... just like the Big Apple BBQ Bash... Why not bring together those who love pig!
In a central location, bring all kinds of Pig Roasters and Enthusiasts, those who do pig... Rotisserie Roasted, Oven Baked, In-a-Boxers, Homemade Block Pit Builders.. and others, and those who love Pig...
Maybe even have "Pro and Amature" categories!
Do I have any takers??

My only critique of this review is the fact that everyone knows that peanuts are the worst part of Cracker Jacks. The proper ratio is zero peanuts to all popcorn.

Not exactly the same, but I find I like the pernil(roast pork) platter at Boca Chica much better and a better value.

The beans should have been cooked thoroughly. Other than that Porchetta looks like a great place. Nice lean high quality pork from the looks of it

With all due respect to the Serious Eats photo staff, here's some serious porchetta sandwich photos that I think may rock even theirs...

I went here the first or second day it was open. I ended up waiting about 20 minutes for my sandwich (after ordering), and it was very small, very fatty, and very expensive. The potatoes were borderline tasteless, and I didn't detect any "burnt ends" in there at all. Because roast pig is basically my favorite food in the world, I'll probably be back when I have some cash to burn, but I'll make sure that I ask for it without so much fat.

Seconded on that Boylan's diet cola. I bought it at the Tuck Shop to wash down a sausage roll, but it went into the first trash bin I passed. (Oddly, their other flavors are quite good.)

Is this place somehow related to the now-closed Porchetta in Cobble Hill that also focused on pork?

Is this where Arepa used to be?
