Roli Roti Gourmet Rotisserie

«Never thought I’d fail at failing.» — George Costanza, Seinfeld
Fail. Drove 30 minutes, fought parking to get into Oakland Chinatown. WAS poised to order a feast, 4 lbs. of Porchetta, & a couple orders of brussel sprouts and potatoes… DENIED. «I don’t have a scale today, sandwiches only — step aside if you need to think about it» Wow. Was never treated that way @ the Ferry Building. I’ll spend my $ 100 elsewhere.
NEXT, couple days later, hit the Ferry Building again… fairly short line @ 10am, but guess what? Not selling by the lb. since they «got a late start»… grabbed a sandwhich. Man, it’s NOT my week. Giving up on them, getting a recipe and stopping by the butcher to roll my own tomorrow. Pretty disappointing.

Working by San Francisco’s Ferry Building Embarcadero, I looked forward to the Thursday Farmers’ Market and the delicious Porchetta sandwich at the Roli-​Roti truck. With my job transfer to Downtown Oakland, I was looking forward to the Porchetta at the Roli-​Roti truck at the Friday Old Oakland Farmers’ Market. However, to my disappointment, Roli-​Roti was only selling its rotisserie grilled chicken, pork knuckles and rosemary roasted potatoes, but not their Porchetta sandwich.
However, 2015 has brought me happiness. Roli-​Roti is now selling its Porchetta sandwich at the Old Oakland Farmers’ Market. If you haven’t tried this delicious sandwich of rotisserie pork with pieces of crispy skin, onion marmalade, curly cress and rosemary sea salt on an ACME sweet deli roll, you need to give one of the best gourmet sandwiches around a try.

Also, the waiting line to the Roli-​Roti truck here is only about five to ten deep compared to the line of 25 deep at the Ferry Building too! Thanks Roli-​Roti for bringing your Porchetta to the Old Oakland Farmers’ Market. I know what I’m having for lunch on Fridays!
