Tommy DiNics was one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. You two can like what you like but every time I'm in Philly, first stop will always be DiNics.

Tommy DiNic’s is best Roast Pork sandwich !!! I've detoured 4 hours just to get a few to take home !!! It is UNMATCHED

Cheers to Erin for finally overpowering Herrine's big energy.

7:44 Actually spinach is the "traditional" roast pork sandwich topping, since John's literally invented the sandwich. Broccoli rabe is just more well known these days.

My mom made me sandwiches, leftover meat two pieces of bread. I Remember every one. Thanks Ma

When you consider Katz’s deli in NY sandwich is north of $20...this is an absolute bargain at 8 bucks

Love Adam Richman in the video😁, even after he retired from food wating, he still remembered, because he is the legend😁

John's roast pork is awesome and they also make one of the best cheesesteaks in Philly.

DiNic's is my favorite by far...maybe I need to try John's Roast Pork again but it was overly salty (maybe the sharp provolone?) but they all use sharp provolone...I just thought DiNic's was way above John's Roast Pork and High Street on Market was really really good but elevated and hard to compare in regards to the OGs

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.

John's hands down... when I drive down to Philly from New Hampshire that's the only thing I can think about...cant beat it..

My mouth is watering like a waterfall by just watching and reminiscing about having a Dinics pork sandwich for “Breakfast “ the morning after the Fleetwood Mac concert in Philly a couple years ago.

[ELBarbarro]

Herrine and Erin have great chemistry...these are THE two...keep them together. Oh and it helps that Erin knows how to a goddam sammich...

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.

I love these videos I binge watch them all today

[VannieEats]

My first glance at the thumbnail and I thought it was a banh mi 😂

[blakepayne]

It’s “Redding” terminal not reading like reading a book

[danielleangeliquebarbadill]

I'm from Philly. A year ago I moved to Italy. I would kill for a John's Roast Pork sandwich roght now. There's nothing like it here. I've eaten roast pork sandwiches from many places in Philly. IMO, no one touches John's.
