>> Fifth Street Brewpub captures two golds in beer competition (July 11, 2016)
One particular sandwich stands out from the rest for a very piggy reason.
>> 9 must-try sandwiches in Dayton
It is called the Pork Lord, and it had me at the words "pork" and "lord."
The sandwich is full of porky goodness, as you can imagine. But it will not leave you feeling like a pig.
The $10 dish is a well-portioned combination of thin-ish sliced pork, bacon horseradish aioli and seasoned in-house pork rinds (called Crack–A–Lackin’s on the menu) on the side.
Besides the ham and bacon, the anything but simple sandwich includes lettuce, tomato, onion, a fried egg and ghost pepper jack cheese on a telera roll.

Don’t let the ghost pepper scare you off.
The sandwich has just the right amount of heat for those of us who love a little kick with supper.
The egg was cooked to perfection with plenty of delicious runny yolk to sop up.
The yolk flowed like lava when I cut into my Pork Lord.
The sandwich is cheesy, bacon-ey, eggy and spicy goodness.

The Pork Lord was added to Fifth Street’s menu in February.
Tanya Brock, Fifth Street's manager, said the Pork Lord has become a customer favorite and will remain on the menu for a while going forward.
An order of thick and crunchy Crack-A-Lackin’s are $6 as an appetizer if you don’t want to go all hog wild.
