Acorns aren’t just for squirrels. 116 Crown, is participating with La Quercia Artisan Cured Meats in a program called Acorn Edition and have purchased a whole organic, acorn finished Berkshire pig. In December, the pig stopped enjoying a hearty diet of acorns and now we can start enjoying the pig. 116 will receive various cuts of meat to be crafted into delectable meals or offered up in its pure state. Diners can look forward to ribs and fresh sausage first, followed by cured products like Guanciale and Pancetta in late Febrary. In April, the Lonza, Coppa and Lardo will arrive. By September, feast on the first shoulder and leg. A finally, in July 2011, the crowning glory, the Proscuitto, arrives.
Enjoy your favorite cut of the pig in their sophisticated dining
space on Crown Street, near the intersection of Church Street. Relax in their
pod-like dining booths or grab a stool at their onynx lit bar. For
