Roast Pork Italian

Many Philadelphians argue it, not the cheesesteak, is the city's real signature sandwich.
Juicy sliced roast pork on a long seeded roll with sharp provolone and garlicky broccoli rabe or sautéed spinach, ordered at South Philly sandwich counters and eaten on the spot.
Why it's made this way: It comes from Philadelphia's large Italian-American community; John's Roast Pork in South Philadelphia has been serving it since 1930.
