Third-generation master butcher Thomas Odermatt is the mastermind behind Roli Roti, a mobile gourmet rotisserie that’s been serving the Bay Area and beyond since 2002. Thomas’ humble concept is to serve high-quality rotisserie cooked meats like whole chicken and massive porchetta, a hand rolled pork tenderloin packed with spices and cooked until the skin is crisp. Roli Roti’s meat sandwiches and potatoes cooked with pork and chicken drippings have made him famous around San Francisco, and Thomas’ passion and spirit have kept the business going despite setbacks (like one food truck hijacking).

Mad that a swiss butchers son went to Berkley.. if you’ve ever been to Switzerland though it’s really not that mad I guess. Those streets really are paved with gold
San Francisco rotisserie is when two dudes spit roast a guy in the middle and turn him
The guy really said ”Push push push” to his already stressed out employees? What a clown
can confirm – the porchetta is amazing
Well, I know what I’m getting next time I eat out.

7:39 what chipotle and subway tried to Say to us when portions were getting smaller. He’s real cause did you see the amount of meat at the end! 💯
Shoutout to these local legends. I’ve had their food at the Ferry Building.
the potatoes under the proteins are a normal thing in france. It’s not a new thing ffs.
Impossible to overrate this food, some of the best food I’ve ever eaten
Oh my god I am so enchanted by this guy. It’s so wonderful to hear about restaurants that serve real food instead of gold leaf and beef imported from Japan every 8 hours. This is human food
