Sunday Pork is king right now, and the Mangalitsa, a curly-haired hog that’s gracing menus all over town in various forms, is the star of the show Sunday night at Ardesia, where chef Amorette Casaus is doing a $30, three-course porkapalooza. Course one: frisee salad with cannelloni beans and Mangalitsa bacon bits. Course two: Mangalitsa three ways—braised, seared and smoked—with winter vegetables...
