Handsome Hog is a pig-centric, Southern-inspired restaurant in Lowertown, St. Paul. History Established in 2016. Chef Justin Sutherland spent his childhood in the kitchen with his mother and grandmother, watching his favorite TV show, "Yan Can Cook". For his fifth birthday, he asked for an EasyBake Oven. Justin's goal for the Handsome Hog is to let the food's natural flavor stand out by cooking the best seasonal ingredients, sourced locally as often as possible with great care and attention. Prior to opening Handsome Hog, Sutherland worked at Meritage and Brasserie Zentral and he credits Russell Klein with instilling discipline, attention to detail and never settling for anything but the best. You're going to love this guy's Pig Tails. A true passion for bringing great places to the community where guests can have fun, enjoy great good, quality beverages and good service.
