March 1: National Pig Day at PBR

Tuesday is National Pig Day. Yes, I just said those words. National Pig Day. Old City's Philadelphia Bar & Restaurant (120 Market St.) is dedicating their entire day to the celebration of this beloved and delicious swiney being. Chef Jordan Sauter will be roasting pigs all day today into tomorrow in preparation of the FREE ROASTED SUCKLING PIG SLAMMERS they will be throwing your way between noon and 1 p.m. tomorrow. Don't sleep on this. Slammers, if you weren't aware, are like double sliders. Sauter does not want to "leave you hungry," so after 1, the slammers will be $3 a pop. Avery Brewing Company's Hog Heaven Barleywine will be poured all day into 10-ounce goblets for another $3, and Sauter will be braising some piggy shanks in said brew and serving them with cracklins and bacon-y lentils for $10. Readers, this is a really important holiday. See you there. freelunch Posted 2011-03-01 13:36:10

Stopped by PBR today for the free lunch.  The pork was wonderful and the super thick cut bacon, crispy skin, and variety of house-made condiments totally made it.  However, the place was totally dead.  It made me sad to see that very few people took advantage of the porky goodness.  It was honestly some of the best I have tasted.

I was SO SAD that I couldn't make it - stuck in my doctor's office for hours just thinking about free roast pork.
