Wood-Oven Roasted Pig Face

📍 Los Angeles American Creative $$$

at Girl and the Goat LA

"Wood-oven roasted pig face at Girl and the Goat LA is the dish that defines Stephanie Izard's LA outpost. The face is roasted until the skin is crackling and the fat has rendered. A sunny-side egg is placed on top, the pickled peppers add acid. This is the kind of dish that requires confidence and delivers drama."

"Pig face is a cut that most kitchens avoid. The one that appears on the menu at Girl and the Goat is roasted in a wood oven, which adds char and smoke. The egg is applied at the last moment — the yolk runs into the meat and fat, creating a sauce. The pickled peppers cut through. This is the dish that people come to see."
