These sandwiches sound like they are in the vein of some of their porchetta variations which were frankly too heavy and rich for me. I’m not a dainty eater and still suck down a large steak and cheese or Italian sub, full porterhouse, etc. on occasion. However I have had a few Pennypackers experiences where I was filled with actual regret. The sandwiches were certainly delicious, but there was something so rich and fatty about it that I might have undone the meal if I could.
A great fried chicken sandwich probably doesn’t need ham AND a buttermilk biscuit. Maybe one or the other, but both just seems gratuitous. Ditto for the rib eye, butter and fried shallots.
I’ve only been to their location in Magoun Square. Did they open a new location in Davis, or is that one of their food truck stops?
