Memphis Tap's Slow Roast Pork Sandwich always satiates my carnivorous cravings. The pork is juicy and the flavor is true. But the life blood of this sandwich is found in the creamy garlic mayo. Once you dig those incisors in and the mayo mixes with a little bit of pork juice, you can feel your salivary glands start hankering. It is served with provolone and some simple baby spinach, which adds a nice fresh touch. Good fries too; with a hearty potato taste not overpowered by the fryer. I would have absolutely loved a pickle spear and it looks like there's just the right amount of room on the plate for one. Kitchen oversight? I don't know. My girlfriend ordered the Asparagus Mac and Cheese, which was loaded with pesto and dangerously good. It happened to be Philly Beer Week and as a result, MT was offering a "No Repeat Beer Week," during which each keg was one-and-done. I enjoyed a hoppy Russian River Pliny the Elder IPA, while she, a refreshing Victory Summer Love.
Put on your blue suede shoes and board a plane to Memphis and Cumberland Streets in Fishtown.

PS There's a beer garden!
If you go back (or should I say, when you go back?) be sure to try the smoked coconut club, which doesn't sound like much but is actually delicious. I don't know if it's still on, but their portabella burger is also fantastic.
