Ordering Strategy

Expect a queue and standing room only. These sandwiches are incredibly messy, so grab a handful of napkins and don't wear white.

What to order

Safe first

Honey Truffle Parmesan

The 'signature sandwich' featuring 10-hour slow-roasted pork shoulder topped with a 'mountain of 30 month aged parmesan.' Reviewers describe it as a 'stunning symphony of salty, sweet, sour and spicy' that 'deserved a museum spot.'

Hungry

Salsa Verde

A 'downright saucy' ciabatta sandwich where the 'tender pork fell apart upon the slightest touch.' The salsa verde provides a necessary 'sparkle of spice' and acidity that 'cut straight through the pork's fat.'

Wildcard

Smoked Scamorza

Regarded as one of the menu's 'bangers,' this variant introduces basil passata and aioli to the pork base, topped with melted smoked scamorza for a gooey, indulgent Italian profile.
