If you have a ton of money, time and a great desire to head to the desert this weekend, you should be in Vegas for All Star Cochon 555 (tickets start at $150).
What is it? Well, 10 chefs, 4 butchers, 14 pigs, all sorts of porky goodness – basically the premier porcine event of the year. The event includes the past 2 winners of the Grand Cochon 555 as well as a number of regional winners. The chefs I would love to see:
John Sundstrom of Lark in Seattle
Andy Ricker of Pok Pok in Portland (I have a big man-crush on this guy)
Devin Knell of French Laundry in Napa (any surprise that he won a cooking competition?)
David Varley of Michael Mina in SF
Stephanie Izard of Girl and the Goat in Chicago (and Top Chef Fame)
Some day, I will get myself to this and enjoy it and then probably die of a heart attack.
