Nose to Tail Pork Fix

[hooperblue42]

Who is doing some good pig cookery in the city now.
I have heard a few but wonder what recomendations anyone has. Love all things pork and like to see what people can do with them!

In March, Bar Boulud began doing a "nose to tail" specials menu with six different dishes. They change it every day.

Last night I tried a pork agnolotti dish with morels, fava beans, peas, and crawfish. Delicious!

A meal of their charcuterie, some nose to tail dishes, and petits fours (macarons, bonbons, and warm madeleines) would be a very pleasant way to spend the evening,

Try the suckling pig dinner at the Breslin. They will bring you a board with the tongue, eyes, ears, brains, etc.

Try also Spotted Pig, Hakata Tonton, Bar Boulud, Ma Peche.

You sawed the pig head open! Yay! How was the brain?

I saw Chubby Chinese Girl's post about this dinner, except they didn't even try to eat the brain... made me sad that they walked away leaving like 5 lb of brain on the table.

They actually present the head sawed open, so I didn't have to do any work :)

The brain was delicious! As was the jowl and tongue.

Excellent.

Your pictures are mouthwatering. :)

The restaurant formerly known at M&T in Flushing, Queens has an awesome pig face salad. I also love the pork betty at Samurai Mama in Wiliamsburg, and the pig ear salad at the Spotted Pig in Manhattan. Never been to the Breslin but that's also rather piggy.

The Breslin, as noted, serves the classic whole pig dinner, but I have to say that the pig ear salad the The Spotted Pig is one of my favorite dishes in the whole city at the moment. SO excellent. They have also had Bath chap (pork cheek and jowl, salted, smoked and breaded) as a special small plate lately.
