First day on the job and it was my duty to carve the roasted pig for guests. All day I was asked for the skin..YUK! Until I tasted it. That was simply amazing..sort of crackle texture. The slow roasting makes for the most tender meat you'll ever had. I'm hooked on porchetta. happy cooking chris One of the first jobs I had was working as a helper for a catering company.

Ah, porchetta - one of my all time favorites -- and I just heard on the radio that today is National Roast Suckling Pig Day -- not quite the same but fairly close. As far as the Bay Area, we had some very nice porchetta a couple of months back at the Fatted Calf at the Oxbow Marketplace in Napa. See also their recipe in this Feb 2008 SF Chron article: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/02/27/FDBUUFODU.DTL Vanessa: I just checked into your sight and saw this great post.

I understand RoliRoti's is awesome, but it's not right to judge until we've tried them all. You know, to be fair. Oh yes, the great porchetta hunt is on.

I am in full porchetta-tasting- do you want to do a porchetta hunt with me?? Ferry Building would be a natural stop, and I need a partner in crime to taste them all!! :) I hear RoliRoti's porchetta is to die for... Ah, Sean, you want to beat me to the punch!!

Porchetta is one of those things I grew up eating and took for granted. I hope everyone gets to try it some time in his/her life. Nice post, Vanessa!
