Best Pork Belly:

Odd Duck

The chefs’ love affair with bacon hasn’t waned as much as extended to other products like the belly, where bacon comes from. Uncured and unsmoked, belly has that thick flavorful layer of fat attached. The inventive Odd Duck chefs’ belly work changes often. We’ve had their Thai som tam with green papaya-herb salad, and crispy belly with grilled pineapple and giardiniera. Recently the belly came with Swiss cheese Mornay, smoked ham, roasted pineapple and red beans and rice. (2352 S. Kinnickinnic
