hello welcome to pig and salt have you
guys been here before no our first time
then I have a few things to explain to
you we do small plate family style tapas
here which means that all of our dishes
are just tiny bite-sized amounts of food
meant to be shared among eight people so
everyone only gets that half by the food
no someone will always be more than
their share interesting now tell me are
your dishes composed of five discreet
plates of food like five scallops and a
delicate tower of garnishes for instance
yes always 5 or some other prime number
even though they're meant to be shared
that's right although some of our dishes
are just large bowls of sauce which as
you can imagine are hard to distribute
on those tiny share plates so for those
you'll just pass them back and forth or
you can awkwardly sit and watch your
partner eat while you wait now how many
dishes do you recommend for just the two
of us oh it totally depends how hungry
you are are you hungry
yes we're at dinner I see then I'd say 5
to 18 dishes although this tiny table
will only fit three Oh actually most of
our dishes are quite small as you can
see the nomes supper is actually just a
dewdrop served on an acorn do anything a
little harder er yes there is one item
on our menu that's enormous but
I won't tell you which one that is
alright well sounds like we have some
decisions to make well before you do I'd
love to test your memory by rattling off
the specials we have three specials
tonight but you're not gonna be able to
tell when I'm finished describing the
first one and moving on to the second
we're serving a bruised squid covered in
kumquat pollen and Potocki mushroom
broth and ramps and anchovies and
halibut and a lemon cream sauce those
are the first two and then we also have
a build-your-own dish which is fun at
first
that looks nice can I ask how much that
is you can
but I'm gonna think you're a cheapskate
if you don't end up ordering it perfect
I think we might need a minute or two
before we decide great you start you off
with any drinks while you wait yes
what's the bachelor on martini all of
our drinks are just classic cocktails
with one weird liqueur ooh I'll have one
of those and then googlebots around my
phone after you leave so I don't have to
admit ignorance and I will have the
carafe of wine that inexplicably costs
the same as a full bottle excellent
choice I'll be right back with that
great thank you oh one last thing
will you bring out our dishes in a
completely random order of course we'll
serve four dishes in rapid succession
and then salads laughs thank you
