This Monday at 8 at UCB Chelsea, 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.
Starring Lauren Conlin Adams

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
“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
“In the span of about 30 minutes, Pig: A Restaurant slices and dices through the pretentiousness of the food scene.”
-Christine Ziemba, LAist
“The show flies along at a clip and for anyone with passing knowledge of the food world (at the opening night party, Thomas Keller is turned away because he’s “not on the list”) you’re bound to appreciate the knowing, wicked humor of these very talented restaurant industry vets.”
-Adam Roberts, The Amateur Gourmet
