Kona

Last week, at The Bones event, organized by Meatpaper, people who came along for the 20th Street Corridor crawl were treated to a sneak peek at Salumeria. Chef de Cuisine Matt Sigler was whipping up insanely tasty batches of arancini that people couldn’t get enough of.

And if you looked down, you might have spotted a little furry looking pet. She moves with deft speed and focused determination. What she might lack in grace, she certainly makes up for in cuteness. A few people asked what type of dog she was. Look a little closer. Meet Kona. Chef Thomas’s teacup pig.
