Rushing there before noon, a colleague and I each ordered a slab of sandwich from Roast, inside Victoria's downtown farmer's market. Bridging that whole farm to table mentality, I didn't need to know about any of that before ordering the porchetta, extra skin, and rushing back to my afternoon meeting.
With some heft to it, the slab of provolone and several sprigs of broccoli rabe smothered in fresh pesto really gave that extra zing to the crispy, fatty porchetta. Having a rough morning, I felt alive again after downing this sandwich, and if I had to pick, I would choose Roast over Vancouver's Meat & Bread, I would.
