I'm a vegetarian... except for bacon... 

[sebberry]

I think Pig could cure vegetarianism, they just have to take that first step.  It's like getting over an addiction.

It is called "The Next". Heard good things but have not yet tried it.

and from the archives at 29er Radio in the shameless plugs department here is a link to an interview with Jeff Hetherington, founder of pig. http://bit.ly/1rw0nxP

 

this was one of our earliest shows so still working on sound quality but cool life story.

✪ FULL VIDEO:

 "Direct Action Everywhere activists from Vancouver along with The Critical Cat converged on Pig BBQ Joint in Victoria B.C. to send a message: What they are serving is not food, it's violence. Thank you to all the activists who came to this demonstration and others that day."

Don't carrots have feelings now too, or something like that?

[G-Man]

Why pick on Pig? I mean it must be 99% of restaurants that serve meat.

[Nparker]

I predict the end result of this protest: PIG's business increases. 

[sdwright.vic]

The Kings Deli will somehow miraculously reopen for business under the same ownership on December 2, 2014.

Very happy my friend is feeling better.

And I would wager Pig sources their meat more ethically than a lot of other restaurants.

Not only that, Pig is quite up front about the farm-to-table connection. Many people argue that the excess consumption of meat is tied to the idea that your average person doesn't have a strong connection between the living animal and the meat on their plate, so really IMHO Pig is actually pretty forward thinking in this respect, as their damn restaurant is named "Pig" and they have pictures of pigs in their restaurant.

 

Perhaps vegans are picking on them because they are so upfront about it. If they were called "Johnny's house of cornbread" it wouldn't have been selected as their target?

[sebberry]

Won't someone think of the children?  The kids looked quite frightened there with the protesters in Pig. 

[theboss]

Looks like I'll be going to Pig more often.

 

Nothing better than upsetting a bunch of wimpy SJW's.

[Mike K.]

Yeah, I went there for dinner yesterday. As busy as it ever was in there.

[Szeven]

I asked PIG on Facebook about a year ago where they got their pigs from, and the response was Sysco.  Things could have changed, but I doubt Sysco is getting their pork from the same place someone like The Whole Beast is getting theirs.
