The Cultivated Pig

"I was drawn to the window at the Catapault building, Main Street, next to the Joinery, because of the slow cooker in the driveway. Both owners were there and I began to ask them what they were smoking. They explained that they were smoking the pastrami, which they had been preparing for 2 weeks. They only sold the pastrami on Thursdays because of their process. So, I went back the next day and purchased the slices of pastrami, with 2 sides. The pastrami, which fell apart with just the fork, rivaled the best in NYC! It's a bit pricey, but definitely worth it! Highly recommended by this NYC transplant!"

"I enjoyed my lunch at The Cultivated Pig! I had a brisket sandwhich and street corn. The weather outside was great and I got to eat on the patio. Highly encourage people to come try this new restaurant."

"I found this place by accident walking around the lake while staying in Lakeland for work. Very much a hole in the wall place with a walk up window on the east side of the building it’s in. The brisket I had was tender and very good. The collard greens I had for a side were very good as well and not overly salty as I find a lot of other places are. This is definitely a recommended place to try"

"Delicious BBQ, and the hotdog was phenomenal! And it's run by a couple of great guys who seem to really care about their food."

"Best BBQ ever. I had their pastrami for their Oktoberfest special, and it was the best I have ever tried, even better than Katz's Delicatessen in NYC. Amazing work and very friendly. Will definitely visit them wherever they go!"
