Foie Gras and Bacon: Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together at Amada

You might want to sit down for this: The Garces gang is going to get bacon all up in its foie gras for the forthcoming National Pig Day festivities at Amada next month. This morning, Grub Street got its tubby trotters on the menu for the porcine party (it’s pasted below), and nearly fainted upon first glance at the words foie gras bacon mousse. And that’s just one of a handful of hedonistic hors d’oeuvre that the Iron Chef and his team will be serving at a special, pork-themed happy hour.

A full range of “pork treats” will be on offer during the happy hour celebration on Friday, March 1. They will also have a chicharones-spiked cocktail available, and another that’s garnished with candied bacon.

Then on Sunday, March 10, the popular Pig Out Dinner returns with — you may want to sit down again — all-you-can-eat whole roasted suckling pig! The three course belly-bustin’ feast will set you back $55, but in addition the repeated pig feedings, the entry fee gets you all the traditional fixin’s, and for an additional $20, an endless supply of red and white sangria. The Pig Out Dinner will be served at old original Amada in Old City, and at Revel in Atlantic City. Revel Amada will also host an encore presentation for Father’s Day on June 16.
