  • Hello, welcome to Pig&Salt. Have you guys been here before?

  • No, it's our first time.

  • And I have a few things to explain to you.

  • We do small plate family-style tapas here

  • which means that all of our dishes are just tiny bite-sized amounts of food meant to be shared among 8 people.

  • So everyone only gets a half bite of the food?

  • No, someone will always eat more than their share.

  • Interesting. Now, tell me, are your dishes composed of 5 discrete bites of food,

  • like 5 scallops in a delicate tower of garnishes for instance?

  • Yes, always 5 or some other prime number.

  • Even though they're meant to be shared.

  • That's right. Although some of our dishes are just large bowls of sauce

  • which as you can imagine are hard to distribute on those tiny share plates.

  • So for those you'll just pass them back and forth

  • or you can awkwardly sit and watch your partner eat while you wait.

  • Now, how many dished do you recommend for just the two of us?

  • Oh, it totally depends how hungry you are.

  • Are you hungry?

  • Oh, yes, we're at dinner.

  • I see. Then I'd say 5-18 dishes.

  • Although this tiny table will only fit 3.

  • Sounds like a lot.

  • Oh, actually most of our dishes are quite small.

  • As you can see the known supper, it's actually just a dewdrop served on an acorn.

  • Do you have anything a little heartier?

  • Yes, there is one item on our menu that's fuckin' enormous

  • but I won't tell you which one that is.

  • Alright, well, sounds like we have some decisions to make.

  • Well, before you do, I'd love to test your memory by rattling off the specials.

  • We have 3 specials tonight, but you're not gonna be able to tell when I'm finished describing the first one and moving on to the second.

  • We're serving a bruised squid covered in kumquat pollen and Potocki mushroom broth

  • and ramps and andhovies and halibut in a lemon cream sauce.

  • Those are the first two. And then we also have a build-your-own dish which is fun at first.

  • That looks nice. Can I ask how much that is?

  • You can, but I'm goona think you're a cheapskate if you don't end up ordering it.

  • Perfect. I think we might need a minute or two before we decide.

  • Great. Can we start you off with any drinks while you wait?

  • Yes, what's the bachelor martini?

  • All of our drink are just classic cocktails with one weird liquor.

  • Woo... I'll have one of those and then googlebots are on my phone after you leave

  • so I don't have to admit ignorance.

  • And I will have the carafe of wine that inexplicably cost the same as a full bottle.

  • It's an excellent choice. I will be right back with them.

  • Great. Thank you.

  • Oh, one last thing, will you bring out our dishes in a completely random order?

  • Of course. We will serve 4 dishes in rapid succession and then salad at last.

  • Great. Thank you.

  • Okay, forward to this....
