Pork Osso Buco...finding the shanks

Try the 6-spotted berkshire pork. Best I've ever eaten (fresh or frozen) by a long shot.
Casa de Madera - San Diego
Had a business lunch there yesterday and it was awful. Guacamole, though presentation was interesting, was utterly tasteless. The salsa tasted like bean dip, the shrimp pozole was ok but nothing amazing (this dish would benefit from the addition of traditional pork pieces). The beef salad was pathetic, with limp lettuce and soggy tomato pieces and I'm pretty sure they forgot to put dressing on it. I was expecting warm grilled beef slices on top—maybe my mistake. The slices had been marinated nicely, but the texture implied they had been cooked well in advance, reheated in a microwave, and allowed to sit until cold. Nasty stuff.
