Local vendor Swine Skins has acquired a permit for setting up temporarily in a parking lot near the 800 block of Cary Street. Proprietor Marty is looking forward to being there for the next ten days, giving UCI Bicycle Race fans the chance to try his version of pork skin rinds, made with peanut oil. He has already been selling them at the Byrd House Market this summer and now he is ready for international exposure.
Nearby, as mentioned before, Cary Street restaurant Dinamo is working with local Ardent Craft Ales and international bicycle company Rapha to throw what is essentially a party during the upcoming UCI Bicycle Race.

This scum doesn’t deserve any support. He is the lowest of the low and why would you jeopardize your health for that?
guest, I approved your comment so it would appear, but if you are going to call Marty scum, can you do more than anonymously sort of accuse him of making unhealthy food?
After all, he already admits that his “Swine Skins” are not the healthiest snack, but does attest to their great taste.
I ran into Marty yesterday and picked up a bag of his pork rinds. They are easily the best I’ve ever had and I’m glad to see him chasing the dream. I met him several months back when he was working out the idea and I was impressed with his enthusiasm…it’s a shame to see some anon joker badmouthing the guy.
