Sometimes I have to read emails a few times. But it’s true, in celebration of Earth Day Poste will roast a 400 pound pig. Am I the only one who finds that a bit odd? For the record, I think it will probably be delicious. But for Earth Day…
Poste is located at 555 8th Street, NW.
From an email:
To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, Poste officially re-opens its courtyard with a backyard bash. Bev Eggleston of Eco Friendly Foods will provide a 400 pound pig, which Chef Robert Weland and his team will smoke and roast for the celebration. From 5:30 to 8:00 p.m., a $15 entry free (cash only) will score a taste of the roasted pig from Eco Friendly Foods and one of mixologist Rico Wisner’s popular garden punches, which are back for the season by popular demand. At the event, all “Garden Menu” food and select drink items will be available for $4 each. Highlights of what will be available after the jump
