JP Eats Food Blog. Welcome to my food (and wine) blog. I am very lucky to enjoy good food and wine pretty frequently. I also spend a good deal of time learning and experimenting with both. The point of this blog is to share some of that with you as well as help me remember foods, wines, and little bits and pieces of information I pick up along the way. I rarely take pictures in nice restaurants, so most of what you see here comes from my kitchen, my friends' kitchens, or various casual and local hot spots. You can hit the archive, or never miss a post with rss.

Pork Confit at Lupa

Two nights ago, Lupa had pork confit with crispy skin and shishito peppers as a special. I don’t know if pork confit is a frequent special at Lupa and if so how good it usually is, but on this night it was one of the best versions I’ve ever had. It was exactly what pork confit should be—moist, tender, and fatty, with perfectly crisped and salty skin. The shishito peppers were a great compliment providing just a little bit of spice.

Unfortunately, this is the photo I have. I wasn’t going to include it, but it’s so bad it makes me laugh. My friend took out his iPhone and snapped a pic, and I wrongly assumed he had captured it… or at least something that even resembled food.
