That looks beautiful. I cooked a rolled head, cooled it, sliced it into 1/4 inch medallions and then breaded and fried it and it came out great, but this looks so much better, especially the julianne of ear and dice of tongue

Hey Chef,
I’ve heard that you’re doing an event at Bloodhound next tues. Thanks to this post, I tackled making a porchetta di testa myself…but have some questions. Do you need any extra help for that event? I’m no pro, but would be more than happy to help out and learn.
I love your site!

Hey man, this is great, real passion in your work, taking something like this and making it delicious, i would love to try!
I see new possibilities for the annual pig roast!!! Love ya.
DUDE. I just realized that we know each other thru Claire (she’s my significant other), who worked with you at Fifth Floor. I’ve totally been through here but didnt make the connection. Nice porchetta di testa, did the same thing, but cooked it. I posted it about a month ago on my blog. Take care!

Echt lecker, aber beim Fleischer um die Ecke machen die noch Senfsaat und zerstossenen Piment mit rein.

You cooked this for 72 hours. Can you tell me if I only have 4 hours to cook, would it work?
That sounds good, I am a big fan of breading and frying.
Thanks a lot for the offer, If someone drops you are on the top of the list.
Awesome, we will figure out a way to be there. Love ya
Patrick, the Rolled Face is cooked, slow and low. Were are you guys living and cooking now?
