Hidden away in an unassuming strip mall in Cedar Park lies a sandwich shop that would have a line around the corner if it was located anywhere else, The Noble Pig (aka TNP). TNP not only cures their own meat but the also bake their own bread and make their own condiments. Fresh not only describes the food at TNP but also their take on this genre of food. Duck pastrami appears on the menu as naturally as a traditional hot Italian sausage (they make their own sausage too).
The brothers behind the shop aspire to sell their charcuterie. I can only hope they do so closer to where I live and not nestled between a nail salon and a vacuum repair shop. That said, you’ll find me begrudgingly making the trek up to 620 on 183 at least once a month for what is the best sandwich in Austin (though technically not in Austin).
