      @@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.

    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.

    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

    Omg the mispronunciation of Reading Terminal Market almost made me turn this off - BUT! Thanks for the video! I never heard of that third place until this video.
    I haven't tried John's or this fancy one before, so I can't compare, but I think Dinic's roast pork is definitely the best sandwich I've ever had in my life, and I think it's going to be almost impossible to dethrone that one for me (P.S. I get the most doctored version of Dinic's sandwich - the italian style pull pork, sharp provolone, rabe AND spinach, long hots, and banana peppers) so it is not a straight comparison to the simpler classic.

    Small detail: it is pronounced "Redding", not 'reading'. Named after the Reading Railroad, which had a line from Reading PA, bringing all sorts of Berks County goodies to that terminal in Philadelphia many years ago.
    When you go to John's, there will be locals and out-of-towners in the cheesesteak line. The roast port line to the right usually has only locals.
    You sampled the two best, John's and DiNics. You could have added Tony Lukes, not far from John's.
    Otherwise, you got the best.

      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.

    I've been to DiNic's and John Roast Pork, and I have to agree, I prefere John's Roast Pork. I like broccoli rabe, but it can be overpower the pork. That's especially the case if they undercooked it, and when I was at DiNic's their rabe could cook an extra 2 minutes for my taste.
