Dinner with a delightful duo
To many, there aren’t two sweeter sounding words than “pig” and “whiskey.” At 7pm on Wednesday, December 7, Rapture will marry the two in a five-course meal that stars the pig from hock to hoof and the drink from single malt to bourbon. A call to 293-9526 and $59 earns you a spot at this squeal-worthy dinner.
Pho sho
It’s Anthony Bourdain’s ultimate comfort food and something that has evaded our little town until now: pho. That Vietnamese noodle soup that hits every tastebud and straddles the line between chewing with slurping is coming to West Main Street by way of Vu Nguyen, owner of Zinc. Keep your eye on the prize.
Only pho a night
For you instant gratification types, head to Ten on Sunday, December 4 from 6-10pm, where Executive Chef Pei Chang will be serving pho (along with other noodles, banh mi, dumplings, and pork belly buns) at a pop-up restaurant he’s calling Handsome Boy Noodles. Chang hopes to pop up regularly—giving our local chefs and cooks a little room to flex their creativity.
In the meantime
If you can’t wait for pho to get your slurp on, head to the corner of Garrett and Second Street near the ACAC round about lunchtime on Mondays and Fridays for a noodle bowl from the Whole Foods Market truck. Choose your noodle, protein, veggies, and sauce and you’ve got yourself a lunch for under $10.
