If you find yourself down in the dumps about the dwindling economy, I have an instant panacea. Find a whole-roasted then smoked pig and eat it. Trust me on this. I found myself in a position to do just that during BLT Steak’s media invite only dinner on October 15.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
The hungriest attendees dove straight for spice rubbed sirloin and double cut ribeye paired with spoonfuls of creamed spinach and stuffed tomatos.
Guests looking for something sweet found an assortment of desserts including a pastry cream stuffed crepe laying in a bath of passion fruit reduction sauce and miniature lemon meringue pies topped with blueberries.
It is merely my humble opinion, but I would have traded all the dishes for the popovers seated in baskets near platters of cured meats and smokey cheeses. BLT Steak’s popovers are incredibly flaky and saturated with a subtle cheese flavor.
