Por’ketta

No Call to our bldg and No Show this week. Maybe the truck and their phones broke down. There were a lot of people anticipating their arrival, only to be disappointed.

I’ve been wanting to eat here for quite some time now. It was good but I had a lot of fat in my $ 9.00 sandwich. Don’t think it’s worth that but it was good.

Great food (an understatement) plus friendly service will always be winning combination. The porchetta is tender, flavorful and exquisite. The potato salad is quite delicious. I want to try the bean kale salad next.
Your sandwiches and platters are assembled on demand so you get to enjoy the sight of the rotisserie where the succulent chicken tempts you to forgo the pork. I haven’t yet.
Usually parked at a local brewery, it’s so worth to follow this C-​bus gem.

The roasted pork? Three stars. Juicy. Tender. Their take on salsa verde, spooned I top of the pork, had as lightly salty taste — just enough to make my mouth water I delight.
Potato salad was extremely delish! I can seem to put my finger on it, and I totally forgot to ask the workers, but there is this light vinegar-​ish concoction in the mix-​up. Wow! I thought for sure I was going to get hit with a stringent burst of sour tart, but not at all. Slight hint of «salt». The purple potatoes are such an eye catcher, too! This side dish can take all the props for the fourth star :)
I look forward to trying this truck’s roared chicken in the future!

After first hearing about this in early February, I waited and waited for this food truck to open, and it finally did this past weekend. Unfortunately, I was out of town! Luckily, it happened to be parked out front of Four String Brewery tonight, and I had to go grab it.
First off, they have one of the coolest looking trucks in town, equipped with an aluminum roof held up by some big wooden supports. I haven’t seen a food truck like that around Columbus, and I like it. I’m an idiot for not taking more pictures, but check out their Facebook page. The guy taking my order, who I assume is the owner and chef, seemed very friendly, and I felt bad because with the OSU game going on, it was a bit slow for them.
I went with the porchetta sandwich, because, I mean, you have to when the place is called Por’Ketta, and the Yukon gold and Peruvian potato salad.
The sandwich was killer. I loved it. The roll was great, and the meat was cooked perfectly. Paired with the arugula and salsa verde and what looked like some type of aioli that wasn’t listed on the menu, it was just as good as The Carvery’s porchetta, which is the only sandwich I can think to compare it to right now.
The potato salad though was on a whole different level. It was so delicious. I love German style potato salads, and this was pretty much that, and one of the best I’d had.
The food comes out fast, which is nice. Everything’s already been cooking, so I only waited for about two minutes before I was on my way. I really hope these guys are at Four String often, because I could eat this sandwich every night. It’s a bit pricey at $ 9 for the sandwich, but the quality is definitely there. I suggest if you see this truck out, you stop by and give it a try.
