Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
We couldn't resist posting a graphic close-up of one of our favorite dishes from Chad Clevenger's Porker Cart.
This dish starts with a bed of cold soba noodles bathed in a light soy vinaigrette and tossed with chunks of juicy mango, crisp bell peppers, spicy scallions and fresh cilantro. And resting on that delightful little nest are sizeable chunks of quivering, decadent soy-glazed pork belly, slow-roasted chunks of tender meat with ample fat (because that's where the flavor lives) that melt in the mouth.
Yes, it tastes as good as it looks. Better, even.
Thankfully, the Porker Cart joined the ranks of Civic Center Eats Encore, so we'll be able to get the goods there today from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
