Roli Roti - San Francisco, CA

Oh man, Mr and I definitely ate WAY TOO much (as usual) but as we're rolling through the Farmer's Market, we see another little food truck at the end of the row vendors.  There's stanchions set up and people in line...  What's the big deal?
THIS is the big deal.  Pork seasoned and stuffed with herbs slowly roasting rotisserie styles in a truck until the skin is crispy.  Hey!  I remember this truck from the Food Network show Eat St!  I also remember seeing it the day before at the Off the Grid gathering but we didn't pay them any attention.  Je regret.  ANYHOO, the slow roasted crispy pork is then chopped in front of you, placed into a wicked looking bun and topped with crispy skin, caramelized onions and arugula.  OMG.  SOLD.  We don't care how full we are, we are eating this sandwich.

Porchetta Sandwich - $9.50
IT LOOKS SO G-O-O-D.  And how does it taste?  In one word?  Epic.  Awesome crispy pork skin, moist savoury pork with the perfect amount of fat and spices, creamy caramelized onions to give it that very tasty savoury flavours and just a little bit of bite from the greens.  This is the most amazing combination of ingredients.  BEST.  PORK.  SANDWICH.  EVER.  End sentence.
Our only regrets?  Not having enough room to try their famous rotisserie chicken and their slow roasted potatoes (seasoned using the drippings of he pork and chicken that drip down while they're roasting...  *drool*).  You might think we're exaggerating about how great this sandwich is but we're not.  It really is that good and if you can get your hands on one, make sure you get a second because one is not enough.  Bon appetite!
