In 2023, AJ Paloni launched his first solo venture out of the currently catering-only daytime restaurant Spices Cafe, bringing something truly delicious to this corner of Colfax: porchetta, in various forms. His porky creations can be enjoyed in sandwiches or over fries and come in several varieties, including the original, a banh mi-inspired take, and another that plays on the flavors of al pastor.
