It's a rare occasion when binging is requested nay, required. But at the annual Amada Pig Out, held this Sunday, June 28, overindulging is exactly what's on the menu.
The event, which has been offered for three years now, is something of a local legend among carnivores.
A traditional Cochinillo Asado, or roast suckling pig is served, along with an array of Spanish accompaniments.
Naturally, such an undertaking requires a large appetite and the determination to make the most of the $55 per person entry for unlimited eats.
The main event is brined and slow cooked for two days and ceremoniously carved tableside for diners.
In addition, the lineup includes a first course of spinach salad, chorizo a la planxa and padrn peppers; a second course of rosemary white beans, roasted fingerling potatoes and garbanzos a la Catalana along with the endless supply of pork; and a dessert course of cochinillo cookies and bacon shortbread with Nutella.
Space for the three seatings, at 1, 4 and 7, is limited to the most serious Pig Out aspirants only; call 215-625-2450 for reservations.
