The Lebanese Pressed Chicken Sandwich is roasted, sliced and slathered with toum, an intense spread of garlic, olive oil and salt. Pressed and topped with pickles, it evokes a Cubano by way of Beirut. Read more
The Tuscan establishment's take on the classic Lebanese chicken sandwich is an interesting contrast to its Bay Ridge and Astoria counterparts, but is as every bit as snappy and memorable.
don't get a half sandwich - you'll just wish you got a whole when you see everyone else devouring theirs once you're done. good, good meeeeeaaaaaaatttt.
the porchetta sandwich is my favorite - it tastes just like a real italian one, but the cut of pork is a bit leaner so it may seem dry if you know the real sandwich. crispy potatoes are a must.
"The sequence of flavors is thus: crunchy bread, liquefied fat, crackling fat, pork. There’s no question that the best part is the thick, crispy slab of belly." --James Traub Read more
Get the roasted carrots- which are roasted in olive oil until they're caramelized and creamy, and then dressed with a bit of pomegranate molasses and a shower of cilantro.
The ONLY thing to get (delivered!) is the Porchetta Plate (sliced porchetta meat, beans, and wilted cooking greens). http://www.delivery.com/menu/Porchetta
The fat in the porchetta sandwich melts in your mouth and the skin is like candy. Don't forget the potatoes with burnt crispy bits. Oh, and share if you get both.
First time having a porchetta and, while I imagine this was a good rendition of it, the overall sandwich was not that interesting, in fact it was rather bland and boring.
