    The crispy potatoes with burnt ends may be one of the best food-things on earth.

    Keep on raising their prices - it's now over $13 (including tax) for the sandwich

    Classic porchetta sandwich & chicory salad (dressing = super garlicky) to go.

    First time having a porchetta and, while I imagine this was a good rendition of it, the overall sandwich was not that interesting, in fact it was rather bland and boring.

    Vegetarian sandwich uses olive oil to mind-blowingly delicious effect.

    It's amazingly great - have either the sandwich or plate with potatoes and black cherry soda. Heaven on earth.

    The porchetta was a disappointment. The bread was super hard and not enough crackling. Meat and bread's porchetta sandwich is way better. Go to Vancouver and try it!

    Pick up the sandwich and take it to Tompkins Square Park. The owner will suggest the crispy potatoes and burnt ends.

    Make sure you use the special salt that they have on the counter. Goes great on the potatoes.
