"The Cavatelli Project is a bi-monthly, Thursday-and-Friday pop-up at Holy Mountain Brewing's Phinney Ridge taproom that combines the rollie-pollies in question with flavors from the American South. And not only does it highlight a criminally underrepresented pasta shape, but it serves the best meal you’ll have inside a brewery. (Cover your ears, innocent cheeseburger.) The menu is short but tight—like a round of Olympic shot put, or “California Dreamin’”—and since cavatelli orders aren’t taken until 4pm, it’s best to pop in early with a group. That way, you can shoot the sh*t and grab a preliminary beer or glass of floral riesling before pouncing. Just know that The Cavatelli Project typically sells out within a couple of hours, so consider this a kind of early dinner you’ll need to plan your entire life around. It’s worth it. We don’t make the rules. Food Rundown Smoked Brisket Ragu Here’s a prime example of the Italian-Southern balance in action, and it plays to win. Smoky-but-not-too-smoky pulled beef is lovingly tempered by a briny little dollop of mustard seeds, and parmesan ties everything together. Get it. photo credit: Aimee Rizzo Porchetta Ragu Our favorite of the bunch, this ragu combines silky braised pork with welcome brightness from mint. It’s only right to order the porchetta alongside the brisket. photo credit: Aimee Rizzo Smokey Slow Greens We wish there was a bit more grated cheese to offset the greens’ pronounced smoke notes and turnip-y sweetness, but this is a dependable bowl of vegetarian pasta we’d demolish again when given the opportunity. photo credit: Aimee Rizzo Lowcountry Chop Salad If only The Cavatelli Project’s chop salad were available by the paint bucket. Everyone in this little paper tray has a job to do—cubes of buttery gouda provide relief from salty shards of crisped ham, red peas soaked in mustardy dressing are satisfying, and every so often, a snipped herb shows up to keep things interesting. Good teamwork, gang. photo credit: Aimee Rizzo" - Aimee Rizzo
