Episode 10255:Il Buco Alimentai Part II: The Wrath of Porchetta
March 28, 2012 2:20 pmEveryone loves the short rib at Il Buco, of course, but it was the porchetta that I first fell in love with, and tweeted to the world. It may not be as original or radical a dish as its beefy cousin, but for my money it gets the nod for sheer deliciousness. Which is what matters most, isn’t it?
I so love at 5:36 when Josh is bloviating like a sick thesaurus and Chef kindly puts him out of our misery with one word: “fat.”
My italian butcher makes his own Porcetta and from someone to whom anything Pork was only recently introduced to, I find it addicting. So I can only imagine what this must take like.
So glad to have you back, mi hombre. It was gettin’ a little dry in Food Land without your presence. Keep up the good work. You are fulfilling your destiny. Long live the hog!
Porchetta is my hero!
All I can say is fuckinh wow!!! Josh how is the salt content, perfectly proportioned? How’s does it stack up to Sara Jenkins? Would have loved to see the process of it being made from beginning to end …
It put Sara Jenkins’ right into the shithouse. Not even a conversation.
Yup Josh you are right!!!
Sara is looking for her shinebox as we speak …
JEWS WITH PORK, i love it………
Josh…you’re great-almost all of the time. Beyond that, you seem to slightly lack some genuine verve & and it shows; it cries for a proper sidekick or assistant foil to help further solidify your cred. w/o the occasional pomposity. Much respect for you and your mission-it’s just not as fully rounded as it could be and requires more depth and less obligatory fawning. Just an opinion from a fan and watcher….however, it could be better with a few more key elements. I have a slew of pertinent ideas. I happen to know Stephanie Allende from my years in N.Y(25+) and her sentiments seemed to allign w/ mine in both of your spotlights on her. Happy eating, my friend and a response would be welcomed and a thrill in my food obsessed life.
With much respect, Jon I.

That’s just what I need — a verve-adding sidekick. And here I thought I was all set in that department, at least. But Stephanie won’t get the job done. I need a midget herald, like the one Kid Rock had.
