The People’s pig wheels has arrived at the precise moment when Oregonians’ highly honed palates demand top-quality, carefully sourced, beautifully cooked food, but their economy-shocked wallets can’t necessarily spring for it.  Add to that, the fact that we are serving up some tasty pork, or porchetta to be exact. 

Porchetta, like most things, is brilliant in its simplicity.  It is essentially a savory and moist boneless pork roast seasoned with aromatic herbs and spices like garlic, rosemary, and fennel.  But it is also drop-dead delicious, abundantly juicy, perfectly seasoned, and varied in its myriad textures: from the moist, fine-grained loin meat to the chewy fatty crackling. 

Visitors to the great yellow truck can take their porchetta sandwiches with arugula or cabbage and apples.  The porchetta fills the area with a lovely aroma that wafts its way down the block, causing startled passersby to lift their noses and sniff out The People’s Pig.  Resistance is futile.
