Grand Cochon is the epic finale to the multi-city touring culinary competition. The winner will be crowned the “King of Pork” on Sunday evening, September 15th for the competition’s 10th anniversary. Grand Cochon brings together the winning chefs of regional competitions – the outcome is a friendly competition featuring more than 2,500 pounds of heritage pork raised by America family farmers. The event will feature celebrated chefs and nose-to-tail cookery representing an array of cultures, cities, and cooking styles. Each of the chefs is tasked with preparing the best 3 bites of heritage breed pig from the whole-animal menu they created to win their respective cities. The event is akin to a 40-course stand-up tasting menu, with dozens of competition plates served alongside artisan wines, boutique spirits, handcrafted cocktails, and some of the best cheese, charcuterie, sweets, and pop-up food experiences the country has to offer.

2019 competitors are: Bruno Davaillon, Bullion (Dallas); EJ Miller, International Smoke (Houston); Daniel Espinoza, Cantina Loredo (Chicago); Gabriel Erales, Comedor (Austin); Scott Hergott, Sky Bistro (Banff); Seung Joon Choi, (NYC); Scott Pampuch, 4 Bells (Minneapolis); Jorgie Ramos, Barley (Miami); Brian Redzikowski, Kettner Exchange (Los Angeles). A portion of all sales will benefit Grand Cochon’s sister charity Piggy Bank.

Whisky Wednesday! 😝 I was invited to a couple o Whisky Wednesday! 😝 I was invited to a couple of FUN whiskey tasting/food pairings this week I want to share….

🥃 First up… The @Templetondistillery kickoff to summer. We previewed their new, limited edition Barrel Strength 2022 expression. This was paired with @Chicagoqbbq. The BBQ was specially smoked using Templeton Rye’s Barrel Smoking Chips. What a delicious evening! We also had Templeton Rye cocktails and a tasting flight of the 2018 and 2020.

🥃Next up… I became a cheese pro with @glendronach single malt scotch. I headed to @Domschicago to learn about how different types of cheese pair with The GlenDronach’s sherry matured single malt whiskies. My favorite pairing was the Glendronach Allardice 18 year with the aged mimolette cheese. 😋

Educational and FUN start to the week. Cheers! 🥃
