The unassuming Pig, with its plain booths and hardwood decor, saves its wild side for its dishes that bring together surprising flavors. Think beet and goat cheese ravioli, crispy roasted duck and waffles, and pulled pork with root beer barbecue sauce. More than 40 craft beers and 50 wines are available to accompany the food.
