Between the bread

 

The Porchetta porchetta—she's a beauty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I get the chance to grab lunch with a friend, it almost always involves some form of a sandwich. Even though I’m currently trying to reduce my bread intake, the allure of the between-the-bread lunch is sometimes too strong to resist. A few of my favorite sandwiches include, but are not limited to: the ‘wichcraft grilled cheddar, smoked ham, pear and dijon (the perfect salty-to-sweet ratio; my punch card is almost full); the mozzarella and prosciutto panini at Bite (total comfort food); the Porchetta porchetta sandwich (juicy, savory, unparalleled), the Kelley & Ping Chinese wrap (Peking duck deliciousness); the Paradis To-Go spice-rubbed pork sandwich (perfectly cooked, topped with melted provolone and stewed cabbage, served on an awesome semolina fennel raisin roll). You may have noticed a theme here—pork prevails. For a nice Jewish girl, I seem have taken to the verboten meat quite nicely. It is, after all, the other white meat.

I have yet to try the $5 banh mi at Baoguette—it features pâté and that sounds like a recession special not to be missed. Feel free to send sandwich suggestions my way!
