I've been going pretty hard, all summer, with my pizza oven (see this link for more information http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?42892-Custom-Steel-Pizza-Oven )

My last run I invited some friends over, and assigned each person a task. One friend brought some scratch, sour dough for the crust, others brought toppings and stuff, here was one of our more creative pies:

Foie gras, shi-taki mushrooms, ricotta cheese

and a more standard pie

I also fried some wings, and tossed them in Buffalo sauce. So while the fryer was going, I dropped in an experimental batch of pig tails (seasoned and cooked sous vide, 135* for 48 hours) and tossed them in the wing sauce (hat tip to Animal in LA).

they came out super crispy and with some of the most ridiculously unctuous, sticky meat ever
 
Pigs tails? I've eaten cured and cooked pig's trotters many times, it's a delicious, but never the tail. What a neat idea!

Fantastic looking pizzas, as well!
 
The pig tails look great! I would totally try those. I kind of imagine them as miniature porky versions of oxtail (which I like quite a bit). Great photos and food.
 
If I could have convinced you guys to try the tails, I'm sure you would have loved them. They were that good :D
