Dine High on the Whole Hog

Craigie on Main Facebook

Craigie on Main’s annual Whole Hog Dinner returns for its fourteenth year on Wednesday, July 19th. As you and your pork-loving friends have come to expect, chef-owner Tony Maws and chef de cuisine Chris McMullan have designed an imaginative six-course dinner incorporating all the best parts of the pig (and some parts you didn’t even know about). With amazing dishes like pork liver and lobster lettuce cups, prosciutto-rubbed hamachi, and lard biscuits for dessert, the menu (available below for perusing) is not to be missed. The meal runs $98 with an optional $58 wine pairing. Save a spot now by calling 617.497.511.
