Cochon 555

5 Chefs, 5 Pigs and 5 Winemakers.  Each chef will prepare a 70 lb heritage pig from head to toe for judges and the crowd.  In the end the judges and the crowd determine the winner.  The 5 chefs are Nicholas Stefanelli – Mio, Brian McBride – Blue Duck Tavern, Jamie Leeds – Commonwealth Gastropub, RJ Cooper – Vidalia and John Manolatos – Cashion’s Eat Place.

There will also be 5 winerys there pairing their wines with the chefs creations.  Winerys that are attending Patz & Hall, Pax Wine Cellears, Bonny Doon Vineyard, Arcadian Winery, Miner Family Vineyards.

It is going to be a great time.  Plus, its pork.  Who doesn’t love pork.  For tickets and more information click here.
