If you're a lover of all things pork and you live in Toronto, you should definitely swing by Porchetta & Co., a new sandwich shop on Dundas West. This place does one thing and does one thing right: pork sandwiches. This is no ordinary, leftover pork-chop-on-a-bun sandwich. Porchetta is a traditional Italian way of roasting pig. They start with a pork shoulder covered in spice, wrap that in prosciutto, then wrap that in pork bellies. Hot damn, you've got yourself one hell of a sandwich. The pork belly crisps as it roasts (sometimes called crackle), the prosciutto cooks perfectly and the pork shoulder centre remains full of juicy flavour. There are several add-ons that you can top this baby with like mushrooms, rappini, mozarrella and truffle sauce, but to be honest it is just fine on it's own. There are also side options like soup and potatoes. Get in there and try it out! Sandwiches are only $5.95 to start and a welcome change from the usual lunch garbage that TO has to offer.
I give it 4/5 pig tails, because I feel that the presentation could have been better.
Porchetta & Co. are located at 825 Dundas St. W, and are open Tues.-Sat. 11:00am-9:00pm; Sun. 11:00am-4:00pm; closed Mondays.
