Pig Ate My Pizza

We finally made it to Pig Ate my Pizza to see what the Travail guys are up to while the new restaurant is under construction down the street. They are also doing a pop up restaurant in North Minneapolis called Umami that closes at the end of December. The whole Pig experience is somewhat reminiscent of what the old Travail was like, but with only pizza entrees. We did the tasting menu for two which costs $60. It seems to be the only way to get a good sampling of the appetizers and desserts right now.

Fresh greens salad with toast.  The potted meat is pate with foie gras. The foie tasted like butter basically!

 Liver and pork sausage with spicy ketchup and mustard with sauerkraut and spaetzle.

 Beer cheese soup with walnuts and blue cheese foam. This soup is killer. So rich and flavorful.

Welcome to the Boomtown pizza with shitake, shimiji and  portabella mushrooms and brie and spinach.

 Smoky Cubano pizza with pulled prok, jerk sauce and mustard hollandaise.

 Pop rocks tableside ice cream.

 Frozen grapes with caramel and peanuts.

Custard with pears– super rich and creamy with a graham cracker crust in the bottom. I want to go back and just order this as my meal! So awesome!

The whole experience is still pretty fun and interactive like Travail used to be, but not quite as much so since the pizzas are pretty much already finished when they arrive at your table. Though they do manage to throw in some fun flourishes. I am definitely looking forward to the new Travail down the street. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
