  • Tommy DiNic’s has been serving its famous roast pork sandwich in Reading Terminal Market since 1977. The sandwich comes with thin-sliced roast pork, sharp provolone, and broccoli rabe and was named the best sandwich in America by "Man v. Food" in 2012. Insider’s Taryn Varricchio headed to DiNic’s to find out why. DiNic’s fourth-generation owners explained how they’ve perfected the roast pork sandwich and why Philadelphians argue it compares (and even trumps) a classic Philly cheesesteak.

    I was there on Friday 11/10/23 and I had the beef & my wife had the pork and both were fantastic and the line was 60 people long but it took less than 10 minutes to get our food. BTW: the meatball sandwich also looks great. Don’t forget to grab some Bassett’s Ice Cream while at the Terminal, richest real ice cream in the USA and no crap ie: guar gum or corn fructose mixed in.

    • @steelyd2
      @steelyd2 7 місяців тому

      I think the roast pork, roast beef (same way with the sharp provolone and rabe) and the meatball grinder are all better than the cheesesteak. Cheesesteaks are fine and being from Philly I still eat them a lot but there are way better sandwiches here. And that’s just on the hot side of things. If you want to go cold then there are a million variations of hoagie of course

    He suggested that I get the sandwich in question with the sweet peppers. Try to every which way and the Sandwich with the peppers was better than with the broccoli.. Don't give wrong they're all good in fact. I strongly recommend if you are in the area you go to this place and get anything even a bottle of water l o l

    I ate there after roaming around Reading Terminal for an hour undecided on which place to choose, I thought the sandwich was good but, my sandwich looked nowhere near as fat and juicy as the ones I'm seeing here on this video or another video I saw of this place. Also, my sandwich had what I think was spinach instead of this broccol rabe. I guess when the cameras are rolling they make the fat sandwiches.
