Chop Bar pig roast at Linden Street Brewery draws hungry spectators
on May 22, 2012
Two local businesses—Linden Street Brewery and Chop Bar—came together in Oakland Sunday for their annual pig roast celebration, held on the third Sunday of every month between April and September. Dynamic, an Oakland based band, performed throughout the evening.
The four pigs they roasted came from Langley Farm in Petaluma, about 50 miles north of Oakland. Chefs at Chop Bar received the hogs two days before the roast, putting them in big white coolers while brining then for two days with a mix of salt, sugar, spices and orange juice to tenderize the meat. The pigs were then placed in the “La Caja China,” a Chinese roasting box made out of wood and stainless steel, until the meat was falling from the bone. The meat was then chopped on site, and hungry spectators could plate their roasted pork with potato salad, fresh arugula, asparagus and cornbread along with a selection of Linden Street beer and wine from the East Bay’s Periscope Cellars.

sometimes i have a challenging time choosing laptop accessories, there have been just so a lot ofoptions to go for out of,, It disappointed me, for I think their first CD was the first one I bought with my own money. I didn’t like how they’ve moved to this new direction. They’re still friends, but not living and working together. The whole issue of enforcing uniforms got a jolt when Supreme Court passed its verdict in 1996 and proclaimed the First Amendment protects the right to individual dress. In some cases where schools adopted uniform, they had to face lawsuits by parent with the support of American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). In many cases schools adopted the policy of giving students the options of uniform. http://www.melodik.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10899&title=it-disappointed-me-for-i-think-their-first-cd-was
