About a week after Via, I asked Katy out on a second date, fortunately, she agreed. She had the genius idea to eat at Iberian Pig, recommended by her brother.  THANK YOU RUSTY!  In the heart of the Decatur restaurant scene, this place definitely sets itself apart with its unique Spanish influenced tapas. Enjoying our seasonal Sangria Blanca, we gazed upon the menu and pondered how to choose the best meal for us.


Here's what we came up with:
-Tocino con Manzana - As an avid watcher and wannabe Top Chef, last season's Atlanta native Kevin Gillespie was praised and noted for his pork belly (we'll get to his later).  I had never tried pork belly, but after tonight's meal, it is my favorite food; now I have to order it wherever I see it.  The huge flavor is packed in two bites that melt in your mouth and leave you craving like a junkie.
-Pork Cheek Tacos- If I were to go back and could have only 1 item on the menu this would be the one.  Crunchy shell, tender pork, cool avocado, corn with a kick, and refreshing lime juice make this a reason in itself to stop.
-Albondigas- Wild boar meatballs with a kick...exhilarating!
-Braised Veal Shank Ravioli-Normally, not something I would order but took the chance and am glad I did.
-Esperragos con Moscatel- With all these meat dishes, we had to get veggies and what better than asparagus in moscatel wine, shaved cheese, and of course....ham.

I recommend this restaurant and will surely venture back here in the future.  The Decatur atmosphere is fun, staff was very friendly and prices manageable.  4 Stars.
