Blue Dog Cafe at day, Red Hog Tapas at night

Inspired froma recent vacation in Spain, Blue Dog Cafe owners Kit Garret and Bob Hancock are opening their cafe Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings as the Red Pig serving tapas. They had their soft opening this week. Kit told me the menu below will probably change over time.
