Bizarre Bites: PB&J Hoagie from Yumtown
Note: Frida Garza is spending the rest of her summer on the trail of Philly’s weirdest foods. This time around, the PB&J Hoagie from Yumtown USA.
If you’re a Clark Park regular, you’ve probably seen this overly colorful giant roaming the weekly farmers market. Every Saturday, Yumtown, USA (a food truck that couldn’t be more blatant about its yumminess) parks up and throws down some of the best locally-sourced food around. Their inventive style shines through on their type-set menu (Fried Mac n’ Cheese, anyone?), but no item better emulates their style than their PB&J Hoagie.
The PB&J Hoagie isn’t exactly self-explanatory. It’s essentially a pork sandwich, made with pork belly that is first braised with apple cider and mustard seeds. Once the braising is over and the pork has chilled, it’s grilled crisp and served on toasted baguette. Wondering where the PB&J come in? The bread is slathered with cranberry jam and pumpkin butter. A medley of flavors, to be sure, but it works. And, in keeping with Yumtown’s be-kind-and-eat-local philosophy, all the ingredients are local. Feeling exotic? Order the hoagie with fried green plantains. Sadly, those don’t come from this area code.
