Assorted pickles, roasted seasoned almonds and candied bacon are representative of snack fare ($4 to $5), while hungrier tummies can fi ll up on charcuterie and cheese boards, terrines or sticks of breaded, deep-fried, braised pig head called Pig Fries ($7 to $18). “People sit down at a bar and want bar food like mozzarella sticks. Here, you order Pig Fries,” notes Altnether. Entrées include items such as Fish and Chips, Pork Burgers and Braised Pork Belly ($12 to $16).
