Every friday I pick the best culinary events in the DC area for my readers to enjoy. This weekend there are some great events to attend.
5 Chefs, 5 Pigs and 5 Winemakers. Each chef will prepare a 70 lb heritage pig from head to toe for judges and the crowd. In the end the judges and the crowd determine the winner. The 5 chefs are Nicholas Stefanelli – Mio, Brian McBride – Blue Duck Tavern, Jamie Leeds – Commonwealth Gastropub, RJ Cooper – Vidalia and John Manolatos – Cashion’s Eat Place.
There will also be 5 winerys there pairing their wines with the chefs creations. Winerys that are attending Patz & Hall, Pax Wine Cellears, Bonny Doon Vineyard, Arcadian Winery, Miner Family Vineyards.
It is going to be a great time. Plus, its pork. Who doesn’t love pork. For tickets and more information click here.
