Weekly Lunch Pick: a hot mess of a porchetta sandwich at St. Lawrence Market

Messy? Sure. Delicious? Absolutely

When Summerhill butcher Olliffe announced it would be taking over St. Lawrence Market favourite The Sausage King, it promised to bring along with it some enticing new lunch options. The pork for the porchetta sandwich ($6) is marinated overnight—the belly in brown sugar, fennel seeds and chilies and the shoulder in rosemary, thyme, garlic and lemon zest—before being roasted for nine hours in a little electric oven on-site. The resulting meat is fragrant, salty, slightly sweet and incredibly tender. A generous portion of it is heaped inside a soft kaiser bun and topped with a fresh tomato slice, lettuce and creamy aioli. Like all good hot sandwiches, it comes with a time limit: best to eat it quickly before the bun dissolves into a fatty, delicious mess.

The cost: $6.75 with tax

The time: 11 minutes during peak lunch hour

  1. That’s the kind of lunch with a price range for an average income earner, anything up to $10 or occasionally $20 lunches for special occasion, which most readers like to read and may afford to visit. Not every lunch reviews should costs > $20 to $40 plus, that you have been showing too often in the past for Bay St. bankers and lawyers.
