South Philly is known for it’s Cheese steaks but Everyone that lives there knows the truth. Its the roast pork sandwich that wins the day. Especially if adorned with provolone cheese and broccoli rabe…. OMG….. there is nothing quite like it.

Thinking back to my childhood, when I was a kid growing up just outside of Philadelphia I recall the roast pork that my grandmother used to make. Just looking at it would make you drool with anticipation. She would usually toast the roll just enough to give it some crunch and just a little to be able to absorb the juice from the pork. Then the cheese, usually provolone melted just right. And to finish it off the broccoli rabe that would give it that extra little something that after you tasted it just once…. you could not live without.
