That’s right, 4 pigs.
Once a month Chop Bar (the geniuses that hold my ranking for favorite cheeseburger in the Bay Area – see post) hold a pig roast feast. This roast went through 4 pigs like I went through a pair of pantyhose back in the early 90s.
Why it’s fun
For about $25 (I honestly can’t remember how much we paid but it was anywhere from $20-$30, so I went with the average price) it’s an all you can eat meal of arugula salad, potato salad, watermelon, and of course…roasted pig. It’s simple, honest, and a fun experience. There’s beer, wine, and if you’re lucky – Fernet Branca.
Held outside of the Linden Street Brewery, come early to find parking and avoid the long lines. UPDATE: Linden Street tweet from 9/13/2011 – “Chop Bar Final Pig Roast this Sunday at Linden Street Brewery!” Does this mean it’s over for good or only at Linden Street? Hmm, I will have to update this when I find out.
