Flatiron Chefs in Madison Square Park: Pork anyone?
Back from the Flatiron Chefs event in Madison Square Park where pork dishes (accidentally?) were the theme. Of the 24 restaurants offering food, no less than 8 served a form of pork.
All were quite good. The Breslin featured a pork belly sandwich, craftbar had fresh bacon with heirloom tomato and bibb lettuce, Fatty Crab/Cue had a whole smoked pig, Picknick had Smoked Pork Sliders with coleslaw, Pranna had a bacon wrapped prawn satay, Punch had a BBQ pork & bean sausage roll, Resto had Pork with carbonade BBQ sauce & pickles on thick cut pullman bread, and SD26 had rosemary scented roasted pork served on fresh country bread.
Fatty Crab (http://www.fattycrab.com/) even went so far as to show what killed the pig (see photo). Apparently the cigarette companies need a new market segment to go after.
