Satisfy your inner porcine
It's now the Year of the Pig, in case you haven't been paying attention. And just in time. Last year was dogs, not particularly tasty. Pigs, on the other hand, are delicious. Ask Fergus Henderson at St. John Restaurant in London, whose Nose to Tail Eating gets nothing but raves on Amazon.com. Ask Armandino Battali at Salumi, right in Seattle, whose cured meats appear on the best tables around the country.
And ask Lisa Nakamura, who moved to Seattle to start up Qube. Through February 25th, she's serving 3- and 5-course "Ode to the Pig" menus (for $45 and $65): char siu, kurobatu tenderloin, wild boar cheek, pork chop ... you get the picture. Doubtful she'll try it next February, it being Year of the Rat.
