The folks behind restaurants like Campagnolo and Campagolo Roma have never shied away from obscure locations, but their latest room, Fat Dragon, pushes the boundaries even further, both on the map (it's close to nothing on a deserted stretch of East Powell) and on the menu (smoked, barbecued proteins with South Asian sauces and spices. Think Brooklyn's Fatty 'Cue). Cool bar; great cocktails; tight, well-priced beer and wine list. Chef Ted Anderson's porcine love is evident-from smoked pig's snout fried rice ($15) to smoked and roasted half pig's head ($45; bring friends)-though other options abound, like crunchy squid bao buns ($2.50), jalan alor chicken wings ($9), and slow-cooked lamb ribs ($18). Coconut rice pudding ($6) or soft-serve ice cream cone ($2.50) caps one of the most seductive new feasts in town.
