Cochon 555

The 14-city porcine fest, promoting sustainable farming of heritage-breed pigs, returns to New York with live butchering demonstrations, meaty tastings and a friendly chef cook-off. Toques will go head to head for the prestigious title of "Prince or Princess of Porc," chosen by a panel of judges. Throughout the evening, taste your way through 1,500 pounds of pork, plus boutique wines, craft cocktails and artisanal beer.
