If you're looking for some food for your imagination, check out the Seven Sows Bourbon and Larder menu, which was released over the weekend. You can't order from it until the restaurant opens this spring, but in the meantime, the intriguing menu items should provide food for fantasy. Ponder the pork and oyster pie with puff pastry dough, braised hog cheek barbecue, potlikker-trotter jus and collard greens.

The restaurant is preparing to open on Biltmore Avenue next to Mamacita's. For more information, check out this article from December.
