Maximus (alternative spelling Maximos) is a name formed from the Latin term for “greatest” or “largest.”, Minimus is of course something small. So along comes a large steel pig to whet your appetite with a large taste on a small budget. In the Twitter world, one discovers so many great things going on in the city and neighborhood. I kept hearing about Minimus Maximus, so I needed to see what all the fuss was about. So, last week I went down to 2nd and Pike, and sure enough, there was the large metallic colored pig with the smell of pulled pork coming wafting in the air.
Almost like something you’d see out of Mad Max or at Burning Man, only more tastefully done. The menu is very simple, a pulled pork sandwich with lots of sauce (Maximus) or not (minimus), a Vegan Sandwich, Cole Slaw or homemade chips. When I arrived, there were about 15 people in line, within ten minutes more than 40 people were lined up and the line was growing still.
I ordered the Minimus and chips and when I got back to to the office, I was thinking “Wow, this is fantastic”. If you are hungry between our 10 am and 2 PM tours, this is a perfect low cost meal, just one block east of our tour starting point. Currently their hours are 11 am – 3 PM on Weekdays.
