I will truly hold judgment until the review is published, but I just went to their web site and looked at the menu. Under pork chops: farm raised. Farm raised? Is there a big market for wild pork? Does Wemans or the Giant carry wild pork? Anybody know of free-range pork?

Do owners read this stuff after they write it?

RtSO, at least they didn't say it was "cruelty-free" meat.

I suspect "farm-raised" pork is as opposed to "feedlot-fattened" pork.

RtSO, I think they were trying to contrast their source from the "factory farms" which have become more and more common.

My favorite is "free range chicken." C'mon, really? Like there used to be wild herds made up of tens of thousands of wild chickens roaming around the American landscape...

I'm looking forward to the review. it opened at the edge of my campus making it a lunch option for many of my colleagues and me. However, the lunch prices seem a little steep. The owners must thing that everyone working/teaching on our campus are MD's or lawyers (of course, they're not.) Perhaps they hope to draw quite a few from the neighboring Marriott and Hilton?

Urban (or "city-raised") pork is stringier and, to my tastes, a bit acidic, like battery acidic, and more expensive in most cases. Now, I love wild pork, but most of the pork I eat is, I imagine, farm-raised. Though chicken, duck, ant or worm farm, that I don't know. I am, however, pretty sure a catfish farm requires a separate license. And don't get me started on jungle-raised pork, or desert-raised pork. Small town pork is nice, too.

Chuckles,
One of my favorite Far Side cartoons shows a "Boneless Chicken Ranch" with formless chickens strewn about like watches in a Dali painting. Funny how some things persist in your memory.

At least it wasn't " The pet pot bellied pig that I got in the divorce but didn't want anyway"
