I “discovered” that great sandwich in a diner in Laurence,Long Island in the early 70′s. Yes, I’m Jewish, but that’s besides the point. No one has said how it was made. In Laurence, they had the pork in a roll shape about 3″ in diameter, coated in the red dye and plastic.It looked similar to a Hebrew National salami.The Italian type bread was coated with a garlic butter mixture. Very thin slices of the pork were placed on the bread and the whole thing was broiled in an oven for about 6 or 8 minutes. It was served with duck sauce packets.The bread stayed soft and it was delicious! I have not been able to find any such pork anywhere online.

It is the world’s best sandwich with chinese mustard and duck sauce. Until a year ago, you could still get that sandwich at the Kings Plaza Diner in Brooklyn. Unfortunately, they’re out of business. Anyone know who still serves it????

I believe that Herbie’s International had the market cornered for that “GREAT SANDWICH”. I do remember going to Herbie’s in Brooklyn as well-think that it was on Ralph Ave.

Hi Matt,

Oh boy, do I remember that sandwich! When I was a kid, my family stayed at a bungalow colony called “Taub’s Maple Grove” in South Fallsburg, New York. There was a restaurant called “Barry’s” in South Fallsburg that offered the roast pork on garlic bread sandwich. You could have it with duk sauce on one side and chinese mustard on the other, but I preferred duk sauce on both sides. Yum! Years later, I’d make it myself ordering from both Chinese and Italian take-out places. Haven’t had it in years. – Karen

My family owned Singer’s Restaurant in Liberty NY from 1918 until the late 1970′s. It was a combination Deli/Chinese restaurant and they invented the recipe for the roast pork on garlic bread. People would stand in line around the block on a summer Saturday night to get that sandwich. Also, the celebs would come to our restaurant after their shows at Grossinger’s and other hotels and hang out with my grandfather, Nat Goldner. We had many, many pictures of all he celebs but they were ruined in a flood we had in the early 70′s. If you check the Fans of Singer’s Restaurant Facebook page you will see all of the fans of the famous roast porK!

That does sound good. I bet a pulled honey roasted turkey on the same bread would also be good. OK, now I’m hungry. :-)
