Here, Piggy!

The holidays may be over, but beginning January 23rd, there’s something special to celebrate… pigs! Get ready to go whole hog — its Cochon555 time again. Five chefs in ten different cities will each prepare a heritage breed pig from snout to hoof and serve it paired with wines from five local wineries. A panel of local judges will choose one winner to be the Prince or Princess of Porc and they will go on to compete against the winners from each city at the FOOD & WINE Classic in Aspen for the title of King or Queen of Porc. Guests will be ‘swined and dined’, sampling various pork dishes alongside wine from the attendant wineries. Shining the spotlight on local farmers, chefs and wines, as well as heritage breed hogs. Cochon555 celebrates everything porcine!
