RoliRoti’s Porchetta Sandwiches
Sometimes standing in line for a sandwich and having the sun scorch the back of your neck is well worth it. For a Porchetta sandwich from RoliRoti, I’d do it again without hesitating. With the line about fifteen people deep, it was only a matter of time until we reached the front to order our sandwiches. The aroma of roasted chickens and pork filled the air with each step taken.
Right when we reached the front of the line we were greeted by the beautiful sight of the Porchetta being prepared for sandwich orders.
The hasty slicing action of the roasted pork led to all of the juices drip onto the cutting board. The folks at RoliRoti know not to let the juices go to waste. A quick grab of a piece of bread to wipe down the cutting board to absorb all of what was left over ensured that you wouldn’t miss any of the flavors.
The sandwich had only a few ingredients. Tender seasoned slices of Porchetta, with sweet caramelized onions, all topped with fresh arugula. One bite will had me saying, “Wow.” The flavors of the roasted pork made me reminisce about Filipino roasted pork. It was almost like having lechon in a sandwich, but tastier, and more filling.
Keep in mind, RoliRoti isn’t a restaurant. They are a gourmet mobile rotisserie catering company which you can find at most farmers markets in the Bay Area. Our particular experience with RoliRoti was at the Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market. Even though they are mobile and operate out of the back of their trucks, the quality of their food isn’t sacrificed. I have to send a thank you out to Jo from Taking Over the World One Bite at a Time for the heads up on RoliRoti.
Sweet. =) I wish it were Saturday already.
I wish we had a Roliroti here too-the sandwich sounds SO tempting(and I don’t even eat pork)!! Gosh-the stuff I’m missing.
A SHAME they’re not located near us. This looks great. Honestly, we would not be able to resist.
That sandwich looks really good. And when I see a long line of people waiting for something, I tend to stand and wait too, since it has to be good.
I’ve had Roli Roti twice since finding out about it on EatingAsia. Their pork is soooo good!
Roli Roti trucks are at farmer’s markets all over the Bay Area but only the one at the Ferry Building (and I think Daly City) sells porchetta. You could call or email them to find out if they’re going to be selling porchetta anywhere else.
I’m debating if I should give the rotisserie chicken a try the next time I see a truck. I remember seeing plenty of customers go for one.
Wow, what a delicious looking sandwich there! I would love to try one, never had it.
