Tommy Dinic's Roast Pork Goodness

Stop number two on the Great Philly Cheesesteak Road Trip didn't even involve a cheesesteak. After finding a parking garage that didn't cost half a pay check we wandered down to the square or whatever it is that they call the area out in front of city hall. From there we made our way over to the Reading Terminal Market. Wow. Elbow to elbow. And more food than you can shake a stick at. We finally found Dinic's Roast Pork and Beef. Yep. This is the place. But the line starts around that corner, back along the counter, past the Cajun place to the back side of the fish market. My question to my son (my accomplice in all of this), "Well, what do you want to do?" His response? "This is what we came for." Time: 1:48 PM. Waiting. Waiting. Hey that gator gumbo over there looks good. Waiting. Waiting. That's Tommy Dinic, himself, behind the counter isn't it? Waiting. Waiting. May I take your order? Yes, a Roast Pork sandwich with broccoli rabe, no cheese, a root beer and a cherry coke. Time: 2:41 PM. No where to sit, let's head for the car. Six blocks away. Sit down, open up and take a bite. Well worth... let me emphasize that, WELL worth a 53 minute wait. That was the single best sandwich I can remember eating in a long time. It was awesome. And it will be included on the second attempt at the Ulimate Philly Cheesesteak Road Trip, Take 2. Coming soon to a belly near you.
