43 North-Madison, WI

the pork jowl

43 North is not for the adipose averse. Chef Justin Carlisle has produced a fun, refined and eclectic menu that will satiate the basest of bacon purists and keep the self-appointed foodies guessing.  Stay tuned for seasonal delights sure to tantalize the most discerning of palates.

We ordered the Chef’s tasting menu with wine pairing.  The pork jowl was just amazing and I loved the lobster bisque with tarragon marshmallow and lobster crackling.  We also had a lobster main course with leeks, yoghurt and black sesame cake. I called it lobster with brownies since the cake looked like brownies. It was good but not as good as the other two dishes. They also have a fish and vegetarian tasting menu. All of which we will have to try next time we go. We loved our dinner there and will go back!
