This little Piggy went to Pig and Pig Ale house: A pretty spiffy place for lunch! Really nicely remodeled and decorated downtown Calgary joint that had some pretty good lunch items, but if you are craving something light and fresh it was a little lacking.
First the menu was very enlightening- they had little drawn cartoons of how various critters were sliced up into entrees. Fabulously, the cartoons and some of the menu items inspired a discussion pre-lunch about head cheese and pig brains and other yummy things. This little piggie had none of that.
The group enjoyed the fried catfish and chicken sandwiches served piled high with ginormous french fries, seriously- potato quarters. This little gluten-free dairy-free piggie had a hard time finding something at Pig and Pig for lunch. I felt like a salad or something fresh and light and there was little on the menu that didn't involve pork belly or bacon-fried-bacon, so I opted for the very heavy but well cooked Duck confit- more of a dinner item.
Still, this was a solid, good meat heavy spot and this little piggie cried wee wee wee all the way home (or actually to Starbucks where a large dose of caffeine roused me form my pig stupor).
