“Nose to Tail” Triangle Foodie Tweetup Kicks Off 2011

One of the greatest advantages of technology is its ability to bring people of similar interests together. That’s exactly the purpose of a “tweetup.” Named tweetup because they are real-life meetings organized on the social networking site Twitter, these events are happening all around, whether you know it or not. Luckily, you do not have to be on twitter to attend!

In Durham, there is a particularly active foodie group on Twitter and this group gathers on occasion to mix, mingle, and enjoy good food. The first Triangle Foodie Tweetup of 2011 will be held on February 20 at Four Square Restaurant.

Not usually open on Sunday, Four Square will open its doors to serve an assortment of pig from “nose to tail.” Here is a sample of the menu (subject to change):

Crispy Ears with gribiche sauce

Pig Head Terrine with horseradish

Confit Shoulder Rillette

Loin Porchetta

Lardo and Olive Crostini

Pork Butt braised in coconut milk and banana leaf with Thai garnishes

Trotters stuffed with house Italian sausage

Roasted Tail, (Since there is only one, we may raffle it off for charity!)

Tickets for the event are only $8.17 and a cash bar will be available. For more information and to purchase tickets click here.
