There are certain things in life that you just know. You just know they will beat all expectations and blow your mind. Take for example the 1987 Ferrari F40, that moment when you achieve the perfect milk to cereal ratio, or maybe when you get into your car and your favourite music starts playing. What a rush, what a feeling, what a glorious moment in time. It's like the worlds have collided and the world is yours! Now let's get serious. As we all know yesterday November 3rd, 2015 was "National Sandwich Day". YES, you heard that right, National Sangweech Day (to us Italians). I have been blessed over the last few years by the Sangweech Gods, and have had some pretty incredibly tasting sangweechs. I've always been a creative mind when working in the kitchen and have had the pleasure of making some pretty nice creations of my own. The Double Decker pastrami sangeweeh, The Yard Work special, even the famous Asian inspired 5 and 2. However, over the last month or so, I have had a feeling of pleasure, guilt, and yes, even naughtiness. You know that feeling of pure goodness, that feeling that you just know it's right? Porchetta & Co. have been giving me this feeling for over a month now. I have eaten at this establishment for an undisclosed number of times (its for my own safety not to tell you). Let's just say I know their delivery times like the back of my hand. Porchetta and Co. have a fantastic product and they know it. They keep the porchetta flowing throughout the day and add a special to their menu on a weekly basis. Their special usually involves deep friend chicken with inspired sauces and toppings to make for an unforgettable pairing. I must say when it comes to different foods and dishes I have unique and personal feelings attached to each. Like Greenwood Smokehouse makes me feel like a kid again. Deville Dinerbar brings back my sense of the 80's Miami Vice feel, with all their neon glow. Well Porchetta & Co. make me feel right at home. Warm soft bread, melt in your mouth porchetta and that crackle to die for. OH MY GOD, it just leaves me speechless! Porchetta & Co. have a very intimate place. A small but attractive space with an outdoor option for those wanting to pose for the Sangweech stance. You know the feet and legs evenly spread, stomach and waist tucked in, chest and chin leaning forward and the sangweech tightly gripped (with both hands might I add) right out in front of you. Oh and who can forget the large pile of cheap napkins stuffed in your pocket. It's a sight for many but a command for those who know, leave no evidence of where you were. To the good lads at Porchetta & Co. keep doing what your doing. You have perfected the market and delivery a quality product day in and day out. I have never come for a visit and left disappointed, sort of like nonna's house. "Luxury is anything you don't need, right? I mean, you need food, water, clothing, shelter... but good wine, good food, beautiful interiors, nice clothes; those aren't necessities, they are luxuries - it's all luxury." - Marc Jacobs. Dino.

I love these guys. Their porchetta is by far the best anywhere. So soft and tender and the crackle is amazing.

Their new store on King Street is right beside me. I go almost every week. I love their food. Do I get sometime if I tell them you sent me?
