Recap: Swine and Dine at Say Uncle

Posted on by Sharman

On July 16 and 17, Say Uncle, one of Edmonton’s newest restaurants, played host to back-to-back Swine and Dine dinners. Opening on 104th street downtown in late May, Chef Uncle is a self-described modern dive bar generated from the owners of Edmonton’s Sandwich & Sons, Northern Chicken, and Prairie Catering.

Chef Andrew Cowan, who has three Swine & Dines under his belt at three different restaurants, happily agreed to host a Swine and Dine at Say Uncle, and then handed over the reins in the kitchen to chef Trevor Moan. Moan’s five-course menu for $50, including tax and gratuity, featured Alberta pork from appetizer to dessert, as well as variations for regular Say Uncle menu items.

SAY UNCLE’S SWINE AND DINE MENU

 

FIRST COURSE
Poutine Croquette

A departure from Say Uncle’s traditional poutine, chef Moan served cornmeal crusted potato croquettes with a cheese curd mornay and beef & pork gravy.

SECOND COURSE
Daikon (Not) Radish

Traditionally a vegetarian dish on the Say Uncle menu, chef Moan porkafied the dish by wrapping the daikon in bacon and accompanying it with Robouchon (butter and cream loaded) mashed potato, pearl onions, pork belly jam, and a garlic crumb.

THIRD COURSE
Carrot Terrine

To ensure we got a healthy dose of vegetables, and satisfy the all pork requirement of a Swine and Dine, chef Moan served rainbow carrots braised in Alberta pork lard alongside parsnips and mustard greens.

FOURTH COURSE
Peameal Pork Chop

Inspired by peameal sandwich off a Northern Chicken menu (which can be traced back to chef Cowan’s Ontario roots and obsession with peameal bacon), chef Moan served a succulent peameal crusted pork chop topped with maple pickled mustard seeds. The dish was accomapanied with an Alberta pulse packed succotash and broccoli butter cream.

DESSERT
Alberta Pot De Crème

Chef Moan shared that he likes custard desserts, so he decided to share a pot de crème with Bourbon sauce and topped with crispy pork crackling.

Swine and Dine at Say Uncle – July 16, 2019

Posted on by Sharman

 

We are excited to announce that chefs Trevor Moan and Chef Andrew Cowan of Say Uncle are hosting the next Alberta Pork Swine and Dine dinner. Say Uncle, which recently opened downtown Edmonton on 104 street, is the love child of the owners of Northern Chicken and Sandwich & Sons.
FIVE COURSES FOR $50 – INCLUDING TAX AND GRATUITY
The dinner is scheduled for Tuesday July 16 at 6:30 pm and seating is limited to 30. Considering how great the price is, and once you see how salivary that menu sounds, we know this event is likely to sell out. So, if demand for Say Uncle’s first Swine and Dine is great enough, chefs Cowan and Moan said they will open up the Wednesday July 17 and run the same menu on back to back nights.
