The first bite is glorious...the second even better...and before you know it the manna from heaven has somehow disappeared from your plate. That’s what it feels like to eat a Pulled Pork Sandwich from “The Pub” in Ghirardelli Square.
Last weekend was a big day: it was Greg’s 24th birthday. And to help him overcome the bitterness of now being “old,” we knew that we had to find a proper place to celebrate. There was only one answer: the Pub. First though, we had to go on the website and make sure that it wasn’t a “Colorado Day.”
What’s a “Colorado Day” you ask? A Colorado day is when the Boulders alumni network bombards and turns what is at all other times a family appropriate place into a frat party. SO WARNING...always check on the website if you don’t want to be mingling with boys decked out in backwards caps and popped collars, or with feisty looking blonds who fight you if you dare to cheer for whatever team the Buffalos happen to be playing against. Unfortunately, we did not yet know that “The Pub” was a Buffalo bar prior to bringing Greg’s parents there in September. Needless to say, they weren’t very amused by the make out session that took place in the plants right next to our table on the patio.
Other than those unfortunate Saturdays, “The Pub” is an undiscovered gem on the wharf. All of the food I’ve had there has been amazing, but there are a few things that you absolutely have to try. One the Pulled Pork Sandwich; two the Truffle Mac N Cheese; and three the Cheese Quesadilla with pork added to it. To wash those lovely entrees down, order yourself a bloody Mary. But be careful! It’s spicy! ☺
Yum....that pulled pork sandwich sounds heavenly! It's a shame that you have to worry about avoiding the frenzied make-out fans, though...but it's probably really good for the restaurant's business, so THEY don't mind!
