Lunch, last Monday, was the famous porchetta<\/a> sandwich from the PennyPackers<\/a> food truck. We highly recommend that all our friends and followers in the area join us in making Mondays "Pennypackers Porchetta Day." It can be the Back Bay version of Prince Spaghetti Day<\/a> with better food.<\/p>\n

Last Monday Penny split off on our dog walk to drop a package at the Post Office on Clarendon Street. Her secondary assignment was to pick up lunch along the way home. Imagine her joy as she neared the corner of Clarendon and Boylston (map<\/a>) and spotted the word "Porchetta" in large letters on the back of a food truck. <\/p>\n

The truck was Pennypackers and that sandwich is their specialty.<\/p>\n

There it was on the menu, the porchetta sandwich with rhubarb mostarda<\/a>. After a hurried walk home to have lunch ASAP, we were both savoring the deeply seasoned pork, stuffing, and the lift of the mostarda. (As you may have noticed from past posts, Penny is a big rhubarb fan and was thrilled to see it used in this classic Italian condiment.)<\/p>\n

It wasn't until we studied the rest of the menu in the quick photos taken while waiting for the porchetta, that we both wished we had ordered a second or third item to have that night for supper.<\/p>\n

Pennypackers posts their daily status and menu on Twitter and Facebook. Like or follow them for updates on where they are and what they are serving. <\/p>\n
