This Thursday at 8, Pig: A Restaurant hits UCB LA!

You’re invited to the opening party for Pig: A Restaurant, East Gowanus’ hottest new eatery. Join luminaries like model/actress/hostess Aurora, supplier Ian (of Crown Heights’ preeminent household farm), and Top Chef quarter finalist Annie as they usher in the most pork-obsessed restaurant in Brooklyn.

Praise for Pig: A Restaurant:
“If you’re a food nerd, you probably want to see this.”
- Raphael Brion, Eater

“Pig is a razor-sharp take on the city’s current foodie fadishness.”
- Jamie Feldmar, Gothamist

“Written with wit and bite…directed with style…and performed superbly.”
- Hy Bender, HyReviews

“A must-see.”
- Alyssa Shelasky, Grub Street

“At a performance of Pig: A Restaurant at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Chelsea on Wednesday night, a deranged celebrity chef unveiled a drink list featuring “bacon-infused bourbon” and “pork cheek bitters.” A locavore praised the taste of edible weeds picked along the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. And a food publicist fretted that a photographer’s flash might compromise “the integrity of the food’s color story.” It is clear that the creators of this 30-minute show — which unfolds at the opening of “East Gowanus’s hottest new eatery” and deftly skewers the pretensions of New York foodie culture — have spent time in the food industry.” - Jed Lipinski, New York Times

“The restaurant world is already so full of absurdity and self-parody that you wouldn’t think a comedy show about it could improve on reality. But oh my god, Pig: A Restaurant kills it. The sexually voracious be-hatted critic, the precisely-calculated bad-boy chef, the vacuously hostessing model-slash, the cooking show contestant nearing meat psychosis — everything about it is totally, completely based in reality, and that’s what makes it so ridiculously, spectacularly amazing.”
- Helen Rosner, Saveur

Tickets are just $5 and include Pig and Mike Still: Dictator for Life. There will be a hang out somewhere afterwards! This is one of only two LA shows and our NYC dates have been selling out, so make those reservations!
