@charliep9066 2 года назад

In Italy, this sandwich is called Panini Con Porchetta Di Ariccia. While the toppings can vary, a very common topping in Italian sandwiches is sautéed rapini (aka broccoli rabe), which can be found in many Italian sandwich shops and restaurants everywhere. It has more texture and bite than spinach in addition to the bitterness that can offset the fattiness of the meat, and balanced out with other pickled and spicy toppings. Spinach is used more as a filling in pastas due to how soft it becomes. Rapini is the traditional, and IMHO the better choice for a sandwich.

@toddfulda2948 Год назад

You said that all very well, but I just wanna add that using spinach over broccoli rabe is a rookie move.

@cb5754 3 года назад

You're in Italy? Have you tried the porchetta? I mean c'mon they make killer porchetta sandwiches in Italy.

@foodprofessor4056 3 года назад

@@cb5754 I love good porchetta but it is different from what John's serves so I consider them to be different things. Most porchetta here is made with pork belly while I believe John''s uses pork shoulder. Both are delicious but are as different as a steak is to prime rib. I miss the deliciousness of the spinach, sharp provolone and the shoulder cut. I don't ask for anyone to weep for me being "relegated" to porchetta. Plus I can drive to the towns of Barolo and Barbaresco in under an hour to emjoy the porchetta with our local wines.

@cb5754 3 года назад

@@foodprofessor4056 John uses the pork butt part of the shoulder which is easier to slice. The regular shoulder cut is what most home cooks use. I use my mom's recipe for roast pork that she learned as a teen 90 years ago when she worked at a place in the Italian market in Philly. I envy your stay in Italy. I love it there.

@waterfordrs22 3 года назад

Way better than a cheese steak for sure, no contest. Three great places to hit in Philly. Each of those places is worth trying at the end of the day, the "Redding" Terminal Market is a must visit and one door over from the Jefferson street train station. John's, that's probably where I would take someone for their first roast pork in Philly. High Street on Market is a great place, but if I went there tomorrow, I'm not sure that would be my first choice from there menu, which isn't meant to be a slight against their take on a Philly icon.

@noproblematallmate 3 года назад

Not just that. They probably let the gravy cook everyday and never changing it out. Probably filter the bits out at the end of the day and boil it to leave it for next day. We call this the perpetual gravy and is a secret because it can disgust some customers. The bread bits they remove probably gets add back into the gravy as well after some processing and filtering.
