Paesano's to drunk people: We are the most benevolent sandwich shop in the world

We here at Meal Ticket super-heart chef Peter McAndrews' sandwich shop Paesano's (152 W. Girard Ave., 267-886-9446) � especially for their roast pork. From my Jan. 22 review:

The most stellar member of Paesano's five-sandwich menu selection is also its most traditional � the Arista, thin-shaved slices of unfairly tender house-roasted suckling pig cuddling up to broccoli rabe and long hots on yet another jus-soaked long roll. There's a small but vocal contingent of Philly eaters that likes to champion roast pork as a purist's alternative to the overexposed cheesesteak � the problem is that there are about three people in the city who do it well. Time to make that four: Paesano's rendition is simply � easily � one of the best.

Now comes the life-altering word that the shop will be staying open until 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights to sate the whiskey-soaked masses. The new hours will start this coming Friday, June 12. Paesano's, we love your pig face.
