Spice Kitchen and Bar hosts a spring pig dinner

The Belted and Blue Butt hogs at Spice Acres have been feasting on restaurant leftovers since last fall.

Now that spring has finally arrived, it is time for a pig dinner at Spice Kitchen and Bar in Gordon Square.

The menu includes house-cured ham and sweet potato biscuits, and head cheese crostini with pickled ramps. Juniper whipped lardo and crusty bread will be on the table. The first course is arugula and apple with chicharones and maple vinaigrette. That will be followed by pork belly skewers, with ramp and nuoc cham noodles. Wood-roasted pork loin will be served with pea puree and mushroom thyme spaetzle. Dessert is Caledonian ice cream topped with bacon praline.

The cost for the April 28 dinner, 6:30 p.m., is $65 per person. Phone 216-961-9637. Spice Kitchen and Bar is at 5800 Detroit Ave.
