Tommy DiNic's, also just called DiNic's at other locations, is one of the most famous restaurants in all of Philadelphia. While it was always regarded as one of the best restaurants in Reading Terminal Market, it was really put on the map in 2013 when it was named the "Best Sandwich in America" by Adam Richman on his show, actually called Best Sandwich in America.
The Tommy DiNic's roast pork sandwich with broccoli rabe is famous. I have had it before and it was once a thing of beauty, with sharp provolone cheese, pillowy yet crunchy bread, and juicy pork marinated in au jus. However, many people now say that DiNic's has fallen off and it's no longer the best roast pork sandwich in Philly anymore, or that it's even a tourist trap at this point. It's been a while though since I've been to DiNic's so I will check it out and see if it's deserving of its title!
The association between DiNic's and Adam Richman may be a strong one, but that was a long time ago and it's also just Richman's opinion. We will see if Richman is right that DiNic's is the sandwich place to beat in the USA!

John's Roast Pork - James Beard award winner! And it's their second best sandwich - the cheesesteak is unbelievable.

My only small nitpick about Johns Roast Pork is I prefer broccoli rabe and John's uses spinach. To me that bit of bitterness really sets the taste the sandwich. That being said Johns pork is much tastier.

UA: growing up in Philly I was exposed early in life to the Reading Terminal Market because my father worked there as a butcher from about 1947-50! This market existed since the late 1800's as part of the Reading Railroad center city terminal! Up until the 1960's it was just butchers, fish mongers, bakers, ice cream(Bassetts), vegetable & fruit vendors & just a few food stalls! The Amish restaurant was one of the first! So, into the 1960's quite a few food take-out businesses started! New management took over about 2000, upgraded the site, raised the rents & started to attract the yuppie crowd! Getting back to DiNics( pronounced Deé-Nick). Their pork sandwich is not the best in the USA or Philadelphia or even the Reading Terminal Market! Hershells hot pastrami maybe the best in the market. The best pork sandwich in Philly is John's Roast Pork on Snyder Ave! Oh, by the way, they charged you $3 for the soggy Broccoli Rabe, YUK! In Philly we eat the pretzels with musterd😅

I think the reason things we used to really like when were young no longer taste as good when we get older is partly because the ingredients change, but also because we change, and out tastes change. Just a guess.
@Saryrn_Sorrow
@Saryrn_Sorrow Ай бұрын
Combo of different ingredients (the older you are, the more likely in the past you had better tasting ingredients, but overall less healthy) so there becomes a trade off of how healthy are you willing to eat in combination with how important is actual taste to your food, some foods find the right balance, some spend eternity messing around trying to recreate the flavor that originally brought them to the dance. Also like you said tastes change literally, things that would make you pucker and want to spit out as a kid, suddenly taste good and hit your taste buds in a way you just couldn't appreciate as a kid, basically sour becomes a much sought after taste where as a kid the sweeter the better, we all loved stupidly sweet candies and such that kind of just blow out our pallets as adults. There all of course exceptions in everything, some kids love sour as some adults still crave insane amount of sweets, but in general for most people sweet isn't a priority the older you get. Might be something our body does for defense, as a kid you can burn off sugar with ease where as an adult, excess sugar can cause loads of health issues. Still sometimes it is very obvious when ingredient change is the main culprit as even if you no longer appreciate a certain flavor you can generally tell when the flavor itself is off as opposed to whatever your current taste preferences are. It does help create good memories tho, because somethings clearly do not taste the same in modern day, it helps preserve our memories of certain foods that if they tasted exactly the same these days, we would be less likely to treasure those memories and essentially clear them from our mind as meaningless fluff and the other memories that associate with those memories. So for instance by remembering a favorite a fast food item as a kid, a candy, a pizza place, ect not only do you hold onto those memories with more care, you in turn keep the memories associated with them as well, like who took you to the fast food food/pizza, who you ate it with, shared it with, was it a birthday party, ect, ect. So I suppose that is at least one positive thing about our favorites foods tasting different as an adult as we keep adding new memories to our brain, those old memories are bound to last longer because they become rarer and we put in a little more effort to preserve them in our head even if it is at a subconscious level because we know once we lose those particular memories we essentially will not have a real way to recreate them.

I remember seeing DiNic's featured on Adam Richman's "The Best Sandwich in America" in 2012, so I made it a priority to visit when I went to visit my brother, who lived there at the time. Well, I finally made it there in late 2012 and I was underwhelmed. It was good, dont get me wrong, but BEST in America? Went back a year later, just to see if my taste buds were off (of if I got a weak sandwich) and same thing... underwhelmed. If I lived near RTM, I might hit it up a few times a year, but I felt like it was extremely overrated calling it THE BEST. Ive had better sandwiches in Philadelphia, let alone the country lol /// thanks for the awesome content, UA!

I love an Italian Roast Pork sandwich with broccoli rabe with some sharp provolone cheese. I've never had it at Dinic's, but I have eaten one at a Tony Luke's. They even dunk the whole sandwich in some au-jus so that it's extra moist. One of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten... comes in a close second to Katz's Pastrami sandwich.

(1) Italians in Italy and 1st generation Italian-Americans call that vegetable Rappini and not Broccoli Rabe -- the latter was a marketing term coined about a century ago by a wholesaler and adopted by Italian-Americans who are third, fourth or later generation. It is a mainstay vegetable in many regions of Italy, especially in the south. It is slightly bitter (and even bitter if not fresh) and most Italians live that touch of bitterness in their greens to balance either the sweetness of pork or richness of other meats. (2) UA -- make sure to re-test your shellfish allergy as you get older. I was allergic as a kid to both fish and shellfish but outgrew both allergies and have spent the rest of my life catching up for missed time.

I just wanted to add that, from what I have seen in previous videos about Tommy DiNic's, like many other places the pork leg is roasted, allowed to cool overnight and then thin sliced cold. At the beginning of the day, at DiNic's these pieces are heated in pork broth to gain or regain moisture. By your going earlier in the day, it is possible this pork had not yet absorbed much moisture, may not have contributed in turn to the broth, and maybe they were reluctant to put too much tepid, greasy broth on the sandwich. I'm sure you were correct in saying the sandwich was not very special, but I would also have hesitated to give much credit to Adam Richman's best in US hype--he chose to become known for exhibitions of spectacular gluttony where food was something he had to conquer, rather than enjoy. Too bad we cannot get a Philadelphia roast pork in NYC or Connecticut, even at Italian delis.

You have to get the sharp provolone thats the signature sandwich. Pork broccoli rabe And the cheese. You cant have one without rhe other. Get the peppers on the side and add that shaved cheese. It makes all the difference

@@Broski__ they’re not bad, but for me you’ve gotta go to the italian market or even a place in south philly like varallo bros will have a better cannoli and it wont set you back $7 or however much it’s up to now at termini

@@Zach-tf2qu The OG Termini's is in South Philly. I still gotta try Isgro's, but there's definitely a bunch of good options for cannoli in this city.

I ate here a few years ago with my old man and little brother. My father swore up and down it was amazing because he had it with his father in law a few years before. My brother and I absolutely hated it though, i was pretty mad we didn’t go to Jim’s for cheesesteaks

UA You didn't order the sandwich correctly. You forgot to ask to have it. Dunked in the gravy😮. It's so much better when you do that. That's what you're missing from the last time you had one. Have a great day and love your content.

Never, ever go in the morning. You're getting the leftovers from the evening before. The pork will always be dried out the day after. Best time to go is in the evening in order to get the fresh juicy pork.
