the porter

me and beasley got a little obsessed with "the porter beer bar" in little 5. i had heard that they had a good burger and a great beer selection. 

what i was surprised by was the rest of their food. i noticed they had bone marrow as a special. it came out looking like snot/phlegm/raw-oyster-y. and beasley made quite a face when i pulled the marrow out of the bone. but she soon fell in love with it. cause it's fucking delicious! also, they have this vinegar and salt popcorn. a-mah-zing! it doesn't sound delicious, but trust me, they will fuck up all other popcorn. be careful about breathing in while you eat it, it will try to murder you like asbestos. the beers were good. there was one that beasley really liked, rodenbach grand cru. its fruity and tart, not too bad. but DAMN that place gets fucking crowded. long bar area, with no where really to mill about waiting for a table. but other than that, no real complaints. well, one night we were told there was a 40min wait, and ended up being seated an hour and a half later, and haven't really been back since. but i'm sure we will.

here are the pics!


bacon cheddar burger. eh...not so good. 
but the belgian fries (herb and garlic) were delicious


this was the shit: 
roasted bone marrow, on a toasted  roll, with onions, capers and some other stuff


salt and vinegar popcorn aka. asbestos popcorn 
(plus some more belgium fries with charred onion mayo)
