Draft:Roast Pork on Garlic Bread

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roast Pork on Garlic Bread is a sandwich created in the 1950s at Herbie's in Loch Sheldrake, NY, a town in the Jewish Borscht Belt region of the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. During the height of the post-WWII Catskills, the sandwich -- served hot, it was essentially Cantonese Roast Pork (Char Sui) on pizza shop garlic bread and slathered with Chinese Duck Sauce and hot Chinese mustard -- was a popular late night snack for hotel and bungalow guests, and was served throughout the Borscht Belt region as well as several locations in New York City.

Over the years, with the decline of the Catskills as a Jewish resort area, the popularity of the sandwich has also declined, and is now quite difficult to find on restaurant menus.
