Pig
, 1701 Rebsamen Park Road, Little Rock, will be a smoking establishment when the statewide smoking ban goes into effect July 21, "because," according to an e-mail from "the Pig," "our little band of catering misfits has never been known for political correctness when it comes to running the restaurant and our patrons have informed us that we may take advantage of their bad habits."

Call (501) 399-3667 or (501) 378-3513, or send a note to Restaurants, Weekend Section, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, P.O. Box 2221, Little Rock, Ark. 72203. Send e-mail to:
