Either You're Slingin' Tom Kha or You Got a Wicked Jump Shot

"I had dreams and aspirations of being a ball player, then I topped out at 5'5. I have completely flat feet and every time there's a crack in the sidewalk, I turn my ankle. But one thing I've got is a jump shot." - Dale Talde on basketball.

If he was any taller than 5'5, we might not be enjoying the culinary fixings from Park Slope's much buzzed about chef.  Talde is busy every night of the week and Pork Slope, the team's next project, is set to open sometime this summer, bringing cheap eats and pitchers of beer to 247 5th Avenue (@ Carroll Street).

As a full-time resident of Brooklyn, Dale has a few places he likes to go on his days off.  David Koon and Jamison Blankenship are Dale's pals from when they worked together at Morimoto, and Chef Talde loves their ramen at little Prospect Heights gem Chuko.

A Comic Book Look at the Guys Behind Pork Slope, Coming Early Summer

Nick and Adam Hayes are the brothers behind the graphic novel Dark Age.  They teamed up with the trio behind Talde, the white-hot Park Slope spot on 7th Ave and 11th Street that opened in January, and made this illustration talking about Pork Slope, the trio's latest venture.

Roadhouse + Dale Talde = Pork Slope

Talde was only one month old when we heard the trio behind the restaurant was planning another project together.  It's location?  247 5th Avenue, in Park Slope, in the space that housed Aunt Suzie's for nearly 30 years.  We learn this morning that the new space will be appropriately called Pork Slope, which suggests where the menu draws its inspiration.  Pitchers will also be an option to hold some of the 25 beers that will be available on tap.

Pork Slope will open sometime this summer and be open from 5pm - 4am seven days a week.  Expect an "off the chain rowdy" party to celebrate the night it opens.
