June 2, Pig and Tiger Pop Up

One Night in Boulder. 

Named one of Denver's most exciting new restaurants by 5280, Pig and Tiger is leaving the city for one night only — popping up at Boulder's Velvet Elk Lounge on June 2nd. 

Settle in for a 5-course family-style dinner that tells the story of two chefs: Travis Masar's lifelong obsession with Asian cuisines and Darren Chang's food memories growing up in a Taiwanese household — brought together by 25+ years of combined culinary experience. (The name? Their Chinese zodiac signs. Darren: Pig. Travis: Tiger.) 

Expect Taiwanese classics, modern favorites, and bold new interpretations — all made with local Colorado ingredients. Optional beverage pairings available. Vegetarian options provided. $70 per person.
