As a working mom, I don't get out as often as I'd like. I was super stoked that my gno time was spent last week at the Pig and Pickle in Scottsdale.
You pull in to a random strip mall (standard for Scottsdale) and take a step into another world. And it's a tasty world for sure!
The tostadas were my favorite. Piled high with shredded pork shoulder and married with fresh slaw and mint....these were, in a word....phenom! For a nice Jewish girl, I'm actually a bit of an expert on pork shoulder and this was really great.
We also had pork belly...which tasted like a porky fois gras on top of seared pineapple.
The shrimp and grits were good, but not amazing. Im not going to lie, I'm from the south and I can be overly particular when it comes to these two items.
Our service was fab, the atmosphere was hip and dim and there was even a football game on. If they had been playing reggae music all night it would have been five star....oh wait...they WERE playing reggae all night. (And good stuff like Natural Mystic, not just Buffalo Soldier courtesy reggae!)
P and P...I will be back!
