Get ready to meet your new favorite restaurant. Catapult will introduce its restaurant residency program this month, where members will get a chance to run their own full-scale concepts out of the kitchen space.

Consider this a win-win: Local food entrepreneurs will get the experience of running a real restaurant before venturing out to start their own, and Lakelanders can try out their menus along the way.

First up in the restaurant residency is The Cultivated Pig , which will serve dishes cooked over a live fire (think: brisket, sandwiches, pastrami, and more). The kitchen will be open for lunch + dinner, Wednesday-Saturday, starting Jan. 17.
