Nicky's Undefeated- Revisits

In anticipation for Super Bowl LIX... Nicky's finally rolled out the classic Philly Eyetalian roast pork sando back in February. This fat fuck was hoping the previous rumors were true and sure enough all my wildest dreams came true because I voted for Pedro. I waddled in a few days after the Super Bowl because the joint was fucking nuts with all the ex-pat Igglephans during game day. You couldn't even fit a baby's peen inside the front door it was so packed. I may be obeast but I know better to wait a few days after the big game to snag me this classic roast pork sando. I wanted to make sure they were on point without distractions because if they could make it half as good as Tommy DiNic's roast pork inside the Reading Terminal Market, I would literally be a pig in shit. 
Enough with the mouth breathing, Pouch... Let's get to the damn pork sando already...

Italian Roast Pork Sandwich. Herbed, slow cooked and deli sliced roast pork. Paired with sharp provolone and sauteed broccoli rabe on a Liscio's seeded roll. Extra dipping pork jus. I was shocked at first glance... Look at this thing of beauty. Finally, somebody from the tri-state area delivered the goods. The only observation I would note is the pork coulda been sliced a little bit thinner... It's not a complaint, just an observation. It's no Tommy DiNic's but it shouldn't be... It's Nicky's! Look at that seeded Liscio's roll... So, damn G U U D. Let's take a closer look...

The vibrant broccoli rabe makes you feel healthier after inhaling all that tender other white meat. Drizzle a little jus with each bite. But if you decide to dump your entire load on that piglet's face, don't worry that durable Liscio's seeded roll will absorb all that jizzlobbery like Bounty and it doesn't get all soggy unless you let it sit for an hour. But I doubt anyone would take more than 5 minutes to finish this sexy ass beast of a sando.

Italian Hoagie, ham, mortadella (pistachio), prosciutto, genoa salami, hot capicola, sharp provolone and seeded roll. Since, we're on the Eyetalian theme, yous gotta get the hoagie dragged through the garden. This is still one of the best Ginzo sando specimens in this one horse town.

Via Veneto wooder ice- Lemon and Mango, velvety smooth. It's just an awesome palate cleanser.

A couple of weeks later... I had the hankering for the Eyetalian pork sando, again... I needed to know if it was still available and needed to know if they will put this on the menu permanently.

Italian Roast Pork Sandwich (aka The Beast). Still looks just as good as the first one. I inhaled this sando faster than the first time. If you still have leftover jus, use it for the Philthy!

Classic Philthy. Plain Liscio roll, provolone, wit onions and fries. I had to get the classic with plain roll just for shits and giggles. The provolone melted way better than I remember on the first one a few weeks ago. It's still a very good Philthy and it's my new go-to in the hood.

Founders Special, wit, Cooper sharp on seeded roll. This is great set up for their "special" but it still needs more Cooper sharp on top! I know it doesn't look it but there were a sufficient amount of Cooper underneath all them meatflaps. 

Nick Foles. Fried chicken cutlet, broccoli rabe, sharp provolone, roasted red pepper, balsamic, seeded roll. OK, this is basically the cheekan version of The Beast... And they still put two cutlets on this half sando. You can put that broccoli rabe on anything... Shit, I would put it in ramen.

Oh, that seeded roll... And fried cheekan, what a combo! This is one of my favorite sandos that will be in rotation.

Nicky's is still killing it... No wonder why because they are keeping up the quality and the prices are still affordable. The crowds are still pretty local but they are doing pretty well with the steady traffic. If word gets out to the OTP tourists, I'm sure they will start raising the prices along with the inflated ego and the Pouch will not be happy. So, don't die on me, Jawns!
