on friday night, the charcuterie about 100 yds from my place, the spotted trotter, had a 1 year anniversary. so for $20 you got all you could eat pork/pork related dishes, plus all you could drink beer, wine, and sweet tea vodka. it was pretty damn amazing.
along with me and beasley, there were tons of yuppies there (of course), but i didn't let that get me down. they had 7 food vendors, along with ale yeah, a wine vendor (that i didn't even go near), and deep eddy's vodka. the food was all pretty damn good. ria, from ria's bluebird and sauced fame was there, serving up a delicious little soup-stew-ish thing, it had homemade pasta, pulled pork, some delicious broth and poached quail egg on top. awesome. there were lots of pork sandwiches which ranged from amaze-balls to meh. the inside of the business had a cheese tasting, but i wasn't there for cheese, just pork, so i ate none of that dairy nonsense. also, there was a doughnut guy and an ice cream tent. didn't have either of those either.
BUT the MOST amazing thing i had all night was this guy:
that pig was so stinking good, you'd smack your entire family, and all the babies....twice.
the dude would cut off enormous hunks of the pig (you can see his front left leg is already gone), and they would dole it out to the crowd. i just stood in front of the booth and ate it as it came out. i will be building a fire pit very soon, that pig will be mine....oh yes, it will be mine.
then after all the madness, me and beasley quietly walked home. i had forgotten how nice it is to walk home like that. makes me really miss new york. ah well, such is life.
stay tuned for more posts!
