Definitely need to do something about the bread. It's too hard and was very cold today. Lightly toasting or kept under a heat lamp would be better. The sandwich is a bit pricey. I will continue to eat there since the pork is so good but not as frequently as i would otherwise. Completely agree with your review. Definitely need to do something about the bread.

Better than FoodGuy's. I'm going. And crackling can't be bad, even if it cracks a tooth. By the way: anyone know where to get pork rinds in NYC? Doc D Ben, that sandwich looks great.

I found them a bit expensive and delicious too. I agree that the bread was sometimes too chewy and recommended that they get softer bread and hollow out a bit of the inside. Nice photos!

There were other pieces of pork, as I alluded to in my review, that were fatty and delicious. Those were the best. Where else do you like to get Italian sandwiches?

I wanted about 15 minutes for my sandwich after ordering, and they weren't very busy. Ten bucks and it barely filled me up, and about half the sandwich was inedible gristle. It wasn't the "creamy" pork fat that some foodies seem to love either. If it was a few dollars cheaper and less fatty I might get it again. Went there a couple days ago.
