Chicken & Pig is a city lunch haunt that has lines filtering out the door during peak hour. The menu is simple: bread roll or salad. The bread roll is the Italian version of a Vietnamese banh mi thit, with your choice of meat and shredded cabbage or lettuce with red or green sauce. The salad offers a choice of wood-oven cooked lamb, chicken or pork. The popular choice is the pork, so I ordered a salad with pork, awesome crackling included, and a choice of three salads from the 5-6 they had on offer and a squeeze of red chipotle or green herb salsa sauce. Take-away is the only option here. Salad choices include heirloom carrots with corn and black garlic dressing; Spanish lentils, sweet potato, vincotto and pepita; and kale, broccoli and smoked almonds with red chipotle sauce. These seriously tasty lunch options come in large portion sizes.
