Cochon 555 will take place Sunday, May 2 at 5 p.m. at The Ritz-Carlton (1150 22nd St. NW). Five chefs — R.J. Cooper of Vidalia, Joe Palma of Westend Bistro, Daniel Singhofen of Eola, Nicholas Stefanelli of Bibiana, and David Varley of Bourbon Steak — will each prepare a heritage breed pig from head to toe. Five family-owned wineries will showcase their wines.
Guests will sample the chefs' creations and, along with the judges, determine a winner. The event promotes heritage pigs and breed diversity in local and national communities.
Tickets are $125 per person ($175 for VIP). For tickets and info visit www.cochon555.com.

Here, piggy piggy piggy!
Is it bad that I began to salivate while reading the event writeup?
I wonder what the "cause" is. Eating pigs is a good way to support it, regardless.
Yes please!
Fingers crossed :)

Here's hoping for the special meat-eaters in my life that i win!
Homer: Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Lisa, honey, are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad! Those all come from the same animal!
Homer: [Chuckles] Yeah, right Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.
I would very much like to go to there, please.
Oh, wow, this sounds amazing! Fingers crossed!
Sounds delicious, thanks for the opportunity!
Here's to hoping I win! This sounds amazing!
Homer: I’ll have the smiley face breakfast special. Uhh, but could you add a bacon nose? Plus bacon hair, bacon mustache, five o’clock shadow made of bacon bits and a bacon body.
Waitress: How about I just shove a pig down your throat?
(Homer looks excited)
Waitress: I was kidding.
Homer: Fine, but the bacon man lives in a bacon house!
Waitress: No he doesn’t!
I'm going to be dreaming of pork!
Porktacular!
Yay!
wow, sounds amazing!

I come from the land of the other white meat, North Carolina, so I appreciate fine BBQ and pork in all forms.
Please choose me and my husband! Our third anniversary is this Wed. and this would be a wonderful belated gift - he loves pork too, though he's partial to the mustard-based BBQ sauce found in South Carolina and it's a big problem in our relationship.
Pretty please?
I like pig.
Ooh, to be in a room with all that pork! Pick me please!
Winning would make me squeal like a pig...
"I like waking up to the smell of bacon, sue me. And since I don’t have a butler, I have to do it myself. So, most nights before I go to bed, I will lay six strips of bacon out on my George Foreman grill. Then I go to sleep. When I wake up, I plug in the grill. I go back to sleep again. Then I wake up to the smell of crackling bacon. It is delicious, it’s good for me, it’s the perfect way to start the day.”
Pork fat rules!!! Also, my word verification for this post is "macon" Is that a sign?!? I sure hope so.
Awesome! Pig good! Free tickets gooder!
