| An unlikely partnership between a sushi master and a classically trained locavore has resulted in a casual eatery that pays homage to the humble hog. Housed in an otherwise ordinary suburban strip mall, Pork Belly Grub Shack is reminiscent of a Southern barbecue pit, with red-and-white checkered tablecloths and paper-lined serving baskets. The vibe is laid back, with diners ordering at the counter and seating themselves, but the food is anything but. Not surprisingly, pork belly takes center stage, whether sandwiched between bread, loaded into a tortilla or piled onto a salad. The pork belly fries were expectedly decadent, with tender meat and french fries balanced with blue cheese and a tangy house sauce. The PLT --- pancetta, lettuce and tomato --- was equally rich, the crispy pork standing up to the citrusy garlic aïoli. Belly mac took an unusual spin on the classic, topped with pork and melted Brie. Other popular dishes include a roasted pork belly banh mi, Asian street tacos and the Notorious P.I.G. burger with pancetta and house sauce. |
