Report: Pig Out at Bacardi Tiki Dinner at Whiskey Cake

|

Remember when the parking lot in the northwest corner of Parker and the Tollway was empty every night? That was before Whiskey Cake. The place does the lion’s share of filling it up now, even on Monday nights. On an evening when most restaurants are starving, Whiskey Cake was packed last night for their Bacardi Tiki Dinner under the direction of execuchef TJ Lengnick. I was an invited guest at the event where the centerpiece of the whole deal was slow-roasted whole pig – two of the critters in fact, and 80-pounds each at that. As the accompanying menu shows, they were accompanied by sides, mahi-mahi steamed in banana leaf and jerk chicken, all preceded by passed appetizers.  The whole thing was washed down with cocktails prepared with Bacardi rum.

Jump with me.

Curry potato empanadas, spicy fried sweet potatoes and charred pineapple and summer fruit slaw

Whiskey Cake does these kinds of special events about once a month. You can get on their mailing list here.
