John Bucci

Coming Up

The Roast Pork Sandwich is the standard bearer here: roast pork, sharp provolone, and fresh leaf spinach sautéed in olive oil, as John Bucci describes the classic order. The work reads from the grill outward, with Bucci saying, "I'm really good at the grill. It's the one thing I do really well. I take really a lot of pride in the sandwiches that I make."

Where They Are Now

The pork is handled in the house style, with Bucci describing a seven-hour roast, a thin slice, and a gravy drawn from the bones. That technique puts the cut, the roast, and the jus in direct conversation, which is why few places make the pork this way, in his words.

Signature

John's signature dishes include Roast Pork Sandwich and Philly Cheesesteak.

In Their Words “There's very few places that make the pork our style, we roast it for seven hours, and then we slice it nice and thin, and then it's in its own gravy that we extract from the bones.” “I'm really good at the grill. It's the one thing I do really well. I take really a lot of pride in the sandwiches that I make.”
