LAist: Pig: A Restaurant Humorously Skewers Foodie... →
LAist has nice things to say about Pig! Make those reservations for this Thursday at 7!
In the span of about 30 minutes, Pig: A Restaurant slices and dices through the pretentiousness of the food scene. And while we didn’t get all of the New York-centric nuances (maybe an LA version is in order?), the humor does translate well on the left coast. We guess it’s because a-holes are a-holes...
The Amateur Gourmet: Pig: A Restaurant →
Personal hero Adam Roberts came to the show last night! And he liked it!
We just saw a hilarious skewering of the food world at L.A.’s U.C.B. (Upright Citizens Brigade) called “Pig: A Restaurant.” Actress Lauren Adams tackles everyone from Gael Greene to David Chang in this play written by Leila Cohan-Miccio and directed by Caitlin Bitzegio. Based on real world food experiences (Leila ran the...

Did you know that LA is getting a restaurant called Pigg this year and Pig: A Restaurant this month? Again, nothing in Pig is exaggerated.

Eater: The 5 Hardest Doors in New York City →
2. PROVOCATEUR: Still holding on to the second spot is Mike Satsky and Brian Gefter’s Gansevoort Hotel hot spot. While Satsky will probably cry over his cornflakes that the club isn’t number one, the club still manages to keep its door policies tight and continues to book top flight DJs to keep its Euro-centric crowd happy and shelling out cash for bottles. The team has also...
New York Times: "Pig," a Play, Roasts the... →
Oh, hey, NBD, just a feature on Diner’s Journal.
At a performance of “Pig: A Restaurant” at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Chelsea on Wednesday night, a deranged celebrity chef unveiled a drink list featuring “bacon-infused bourbon” and “pork cheek bitters.” A locavore praised the taste of edible weeds picked along the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. And a food publicist fretted...

Zagat (rhymes with cat!) recommends Pig: A Restaurant (rhymes with returns to UCB at 9:30pm on Wednesday, December 21!).

Bust: Pig: A Restaurant; One-Woman Show Pokes Fun... →
Great write-up from Bust!
Anyone who has ever worked in a restaurant can easily relate to the characters and exaggerated situations. Take hostess Aurora, for example. She’s a model/actress/hostess who claims she got her job because she just looks so good standing in front of stuff. Of course no restaurant is complete without an irate, full-of-themselves co-worker to terrorize the...

Since I’m vegan, I don’t eat meat. However, there is one situation in which I must condone, nay, encourage the consumption of animal fat. If you haven’t have the chance, catch this Thursday performance of Pig: A Restaurant at NYC’s UCB Theater, starring Lauren Conlin Adams and written…

Gothamist: Pig: A Restaurant Parodies Foodie... →
Killer review from Gothamist!
Few worlds are as ripe for the mockery as the New York food world. From the ridiculously image-obsessed chefs to the extreme overabundance of local/sustainable restaurants to the gossipy websites that track their every trivial move, there’s plenty to trash. But it takes someone who truly knows the scene to be able to properly rip it apart, which is where...
Eater: Pig: A Restaurant, a Comedy at Upright... →
Eater loves Pig!
And this comedy has everything: A chef from Top Chef (a quarter-finalist), a wacked-out publicist, a model/actress/hostess who can’t recognize famous chefs, a bad-boy sell-out chef, and a sex-obsessed be-hatted ex-critic. And of course, it’s all set in Brooklyn’s newest pig-focused hotspot in East Gowanus. Don’t miss the familiar-looking website...
