Oink, Oink

How much do I love pork? Let me count the ways...

"GLT" - Guanciale, lettuce, and tomato. This was on the special board at Butcher a few weeks ago, but hopefully it will become a standard choice if the demand is there. And demand you should. Don't be afraid of pork jowl. Try it once, and you will never look at bacon the same way again.

The pork tongue tacos (2 to an order) are a new addition to the bar food menu at Butcher. The richness of the tongue is cut by the acid of the pickled onions, while the cilantro brings a welcome breath of freshness.

You've seen it before, but it's worth another look. True, the hot dog is 90% beef and only 10% pork belly, but who's counting? Mustard, chili, slaw. kraut, or pimento cheese. You could have whatever you like (yeah).

I guess that you could keep up the porcine theme and finish your meal with the bacon studded pralines, but then you would miss out on this chocolate cupcake stuffed with vanilla pudding and topped with cream cheese frosting. Eat your heart out, Bee Sweet.

Went today- had the BBQ pulled pork with potato salad and a link of boudin. Good, good stuff. Also love the hanging pork and meat products. Cool place.

The fennel salami there is gob-smacking-tastic. I can't drive by without pulling over and buying a quarter pound.

butcher will sell you some if you wish to cook with it... it makes the entire house smell like purified bacon.
