Cochon 555: Throwing Down The Porcine Gauntlet

I just found out, on The Food Section, about an event touring the country called Cochon 555. The cochon is French for pig and the 555 refers to 5 chefs, 5 pigs, 5 winemakers. In each city, five chefs will prepare a 70 pound heritage pig, the final dish being judged by a panel. Proceeds go to charities. Tix are a bit spendy at 125 bones but I'm sure it'll be worth it, and if I get my bailout from the President too, I think I'll go to the event in San Francisco.

Their poster event for the New York alone, I think, is worth the price of admission. It features a spotlight beam being broadcast over the city, with the image of a pig reflected in the sky, just like the old Bat spotlight from the Batman TV series.
