Chef Jason Roy of the LAB served his pig's feet glazed with a flavorful Asian-inspired sauce that, delicious as it was, did absolutely nothing to disguise the inherent texture of the feet. While trotters may be a delicacy ... somewhere ... we decided that we'd much rather stick to other parts and pieces of the pig.
Cheers to chef Roy for his efforts, and tune in next week to find out what else he served us. Here's a hint: think zombies.
*Note: Pig's feet aren't generally on the LAB menu. The restaurant raises their own cows and pigs and decided to make us the trotters just for fun.

Congrats to Jason Roy - those looked good, and I'd sure like to try them!
Having said that, girls, if "sweet and jelly-like" is what you're looking for, we'll be glad to set you up - grin!

We actually did quite a lot of color correction. What you're seeing is the result of shooting late in the day and losing the outside light, then trying to fix it as best as possible in post.
Personally, I like the zooming-around handheld style.

If my life was even half as debauched as the Topixites like to think, I'd have been dead from exhaustion some time ago.

Maybe the chef is watching .... it might be cool to put some of those items on a "specials" menu, paired with beers (both on tap and experimental/infused) ... maybe for "LAB RATS" ... who know what night to show up ..... I may have something here ... think of all the "parts", organic - grain feed, hormone-free, of course .... they could start charging us for.
I have never had a bad experience at the LAB ... and consider myself a "LAB RAT".
