Cochon 555 Pits Chefs Against Each Other in a Pig-Butchering, Pig-Cooking Frenzy
Pigs: We like eating 'em, we like seeing them butchered. Last November's Cochon 555 event in Napa pitted five chefs against each other in a bone-out hack fest and cookoff, with Chris Cosentino emerging as the winner, crowned Prince of Porc (we're not kidding).

This time, the event rolls out at the Fairmont (950 Mason at California) on Sunday, June 14, at 5 p.m.. Cosentino's taking a bye, so the field's wide open. The contenders? Ravi Kapur, sous chef at Boulevard; the ubiquitous Ryan Farr of 4505 Meats; A16's Nate Appleman; Staffan Terje of Perbacco; and Peter McNee of Poggio in Sausalito. Fatted Calf's Taylor Boetticher, who guest-butchered at a pig roast last month at Bloodhound, will once again demo his take-down skills.
The event's raison d'être is to promote heritage pigs, though a handful of local winemakers will be around to share the spotlight. Tickets are $125, but with a promise of copious amounts of wine and pigmeat, seriously, doesn't it begin to look like a bargain? For rezzies, visit event organizer Taste Network.
