This is my 4th year photographing Cochon 555, a nationwide festival put on by Brady Lowe, whose purpose is to raise awareness of the joys of heritage breed pigs. Five chefs from some of the best restaurants in each visited city are given a whole heritage breed hog to cook and compete to become that city’s “Prince of Pork” (and go on to Grand Cochon in Aspen, CO). Here’s a selection of highlights from last weekend’s Cochon 555, held at the Newseum – Washington, D.C.
