I have been putting off visiting The Improper Pig and I am mad at myself for doing that. They have really transformed this little space and I'm so glad they have!
On our visit we were quickly seated and our server came right over. The menu isn't extensive but it's got loads of options and what really kills me is there are monthly specials. It was a hard decision but I had to choose one of the specials.
This months specials are the Mac and Cheese BBQ Burrito and the BBQ Fried Rice. Since I love all things Asian Fusion I had to try the BBQ Fried Rice with BBQ pork. I also added the andouille sausage to the entree.
This dish was a very large portion and I had enough for lunch the next day. There a lot of crispy BBQ pieces through out the dish and the sauce that accompanies the rice along with the Queen Bee BBQ sauce really set it apart from other fried rice dishes I've had.
Two of my friends had the Cotswold Platter. One had the Platter with BBQ Pork and BBQ tofu. I'm not the hugest fan of tofu but this had a good taste. It wasn't the firm type of tofu but held its ground with the BBQ pork. The sides that they got were the green beans and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was very runny and she needed a spoon. The other Cotswold Platter had BBQ Chicken and BBQ Pork, Collard greens and the JalapeƱo grits. All very good choices. My other friend tried the other special the Mac and Cheese BBQ Burrito. I got a little taste of this and the flavors work so well together.
Another great thing they got going on is a wide variety of BBQ sauces. My fav from the options was the Queen Bee. What I can remember is the Tong's Thai is a very runny sauce that looks like sweet chili sauce.
I was torn between the special and The BBQ salad so I will have to return and try the salad and perhaps some of the other monthly specials.
