Not your ordinary dinner

At least not for me. Tonight I had dinner with a friend at a place called the Ravenous Pig. This place is owned by the pair of chefs that prepare the meals.

The menu is rather small but everything on it looks fantastic! Here's a link to the dinner MENU

We ended up getting two items and sampling from each of them.

The first was Shrimp and Grits. Local royal red shrimp, c & d mill grits, green tomato chutney and chorizo oil. Absolutely FANTASTIC!

The second item was Colorado Lamb Leg. Served with a vidalia onion purée, potato gratin, baby artichoke & roasted tomato ragú. This was quite good, though my piece of lamb was kind of sinewy and tough to cut. But all was very flavorful.

For dessert was a bing cherry-brown butter tart, crème fraiche ice cream and pecan brittle.

Great evening out. Beats the heck out of the bowl of cereal I was going to have :-)
