My Philadelphia / South Jersey friends have tried numerous times to convince me that the roast pork sandwich with broccoli rabe, or spinach is the greatest thing on earth and their attempts to convince me have just been futile. Roast pork sandwiches just don't appeal to me, and the soggy bread only intensifies my dislike for them until...Nene Italian Market.
Here comes Nene Italian Market. My father in-law order a roast pork for sandwich for lunch. He wanted to try my cheesesteak so he wanted to go halfs on the sandwiches. Apprehensive about the proposal, I decided to just cut off a quarter, from half of the roast pork sandwich. I was instantly hit with shock! Like I said, I have tried the roast pork sandwiches at establishments well known for their roast pork and nothing comes close to the roast pork at Nene's. The au jus is served on the side, so it gives you the option to dip, or soak the meat if you like. Notice I said soak the meat, even with the au jus on the sandwich the bread does not morph into that wet tissue paper texture.
Did I mention the cheesesteak? What about the eggplant and chicken parmigiana sandwiches, all excellent sandwiches! I am a little Bias when it comes to their Chicken Parmigiana here, and at their restaurant Allora. The chicken ceaser salad is my next favorite thing on the menu.
Nene has definitely cemented a place in my heart, and in my belly as a great sandwich spot. I actually became a fan of this establishment thru their steak and eggs breakfast wrap. Everything at this establishment, that I've tried I have truly enjoyed.
