The Portland Phoenix has reviewed Punky’s.
“But I consider myself somewhat of an eggplant parmesan connoisseur, at least among the local places, so Punky’s version is the first sandwich I try. The eggplant is crispy and amply salted, avoiding two frequent mistakes that leave the regal eggplant tasting more like bitter shoe rubber. Two thoughtful additions, sautûed green peppers and a controlled hand with the sauce, move Punky’s parm to the top of the heap.“
What an incredible review. Read it again if you don’t see what I’m saying – this is a creatively written quality review. It’s poetry. Kudos to who ever wrote it. And it’s inspired me to find Punky’s and give them a try. I just hope they offer veg version on the sauce.
