Pan-Crisped Pork Belly

I haven’t gone out for St. Patrick’s Day in years, but tonight my wife and I couldn’t pass up the all-night happy hour at Fleming’s Steakhouse. We met our friends in the bar area and eventually moved to a table outdoors on the patio. It was nice being able to catch up with everybody over cocktails and excellent appetizers. There were plenty of laughs and it was a nice early break in everybody’s week.

Best of all, I was able to indulge a little tonight, sharing the pan-crisped pork belly with sweet onion chutney and goat cheese grits. It wasn’t your typical St. Patrick’s Day food, but it was much more delicious.
