| - Pig and Pickle's website says it best!
"...don't call us one dimensional....the idea behind the brand is all about balance. sweet needs sour...chocolate needs salt...we support local when possible, small farmers, happy animals, real sugar, real fat... we hand craft our cocktails, bake our bread daily, make our own aioli and grow our own herbs...."
This is just the kind of place you want to venture to for great cocktails, great bites, or an indulgent dinner.
Happy hour here is a fantastic way to familiarize yourself with their toothsome menu. Featured are $5 Pupus such as the incomparable "Dump Truck Salad with mixed lettuces (spring greens such as arugula and spinach), radish sprouts, fresh mint, baby shaved veggies like radish, cauliflower, cucumber, carrots, cherry tomato, sesame seeds, shaved fennel, chia, flax seed, and all doused with a wonderful cucumber and shallot vinaigrette, dusted with sea salt and cracked pepper. Incredible! You can also enjoy the likes of Creamy Broccoli and Brown Ale Soup, or a selection of the Chef's housemade charcuterie, all for $5 during HH which is 4-6p Daily.
The menu does change seasonally, so there are items such as the Crispy Chicken Tacos with Sriracha Aioli and slaw that may not always be on the menu. With a name like "Pig and Pickle, I was unsurprised to find the chicken tacos lackluster. Chicken was breaded and consequently dry and flavorless. It would have been a great taco if the meat was rotisserie or marinated. The aioli was wonderful, just the right amount of kick balanced by the cool of the red cabbage.
However! The Pork liver and Caramelized Onion Smear, with pickled fennel and an apple raisin mustardo was exquisite. It had a wonderfully smoky flavor, and the Hawaiian sea salt gave it so much more character. Highly recommended for pate lovers. Personally, I thought this plate was great without the pickled fennel or the mustardo - just the amazing sea salt.
The Wood Oven Roasted Bone Marrow came last, served with Crostini and caramelized onions. It tasted like a decadent and savory sweetbread butter, and it is no wonder why it is a staple here at P&P.
Drinks! With names like Salty Dog and the Stoney Baloney, you are in for a unique treat. The Stoney had a unique melange of Hophead vodka, fresh lime, grapefruit juice, hop grapefruit bitters, an IPA float, and candied lemon rind. The Salty dog their own version of the "Greyhound" with Hawaiian sea salts.
Although I did not venture into sampling the Dinner menu, I spied several tasty looking dishes such as Pork Porchetta and Mussels in White Wine.
With great service and equally great dishes, I am definitely coming back here for more!
