[ ]  National Pig Day is this Saturday, March 1,…While Philly EDGE sincerely hopes that means that Mirabelle will be returned safely, we’re suggesting you celebrate by chowing down on some damn fine pork product in Lambertville, NJ.
 
Check out the Lambertville Station’s Wild Boar Shoulder Roast, which is on the menu from March 3-16. The savory, smoky treat is part of the Station’s yearly winter feast of unique menu items like caribou, kangaroo, ostrich, alligator, elk and more.
