A New Pig In Town

My coworker and I headed out to lunch in the beautiful sunshine and stumbled up on this metallic swine of beauty...


Move over Rachel (the beloved mascot of the Pike Place Market)! There's a new pig in town, and he goes by "Maximus-Minimus". Max, as I will refer to him/it, is the newest taco-truck-type-vendor in the street food craze that's hitting Seattle. And that is a very cool thing indeed.

Today was their second day serving lunch on the corner of Second & Pike... So far, their menu is pretty small, but the line for food was not. Fortunately for us, we beat the noon rush, and were able to grab a pulled pork sandwich with Beechers cheese in about 5 minutes. The sandie was decent -- the meat was a bit dry, but the flavor was good, and the addition of cilantro added a nice twist.

All in all, it was a memorable lunch experience. I had read about the metal porker on various food blogs over the past month, so it was cool to actually see it in person. I look forward to seeing how things change and improve over the next few months for Max.

For more info on Maximus-Minimus, you can go to their website and/or check this out. For a couple more pics, see below for the business side of the swine, and what he serves up...
