Porcupine makes its debut at Z's Cocktail Lounge in Alameda 9/20/09





Porcupine made its teeny, tiny, super-secret debut at the charming Z's in Alameda this past Sunday.

On the menu: Moroccan meatballs with ras el hanout tomato sauce and cucumber raita tucked neatly into a torpedo pocket, and olive oil-poached local albacore with arugula, parsley, nicoise olives, red onion and sliced farm egg.


And while comments like "this is the best goddamn tuna sandwich I ever had, and I don't even like tuna!" encourage and confuse us at the same time, the concept of the "best" makes us a little uncomfortable. I mean...but, thanks.

And to the guy who really, really liked the meatball sando, your effusive, though unintelligible (your mouth was full) praise is music to our prickly little ears.

We'll be back at Z's for Monday Night Football in two weeks, October 5th. Come see us.
