The how2heroes team filmed and attended the much anticipated Cochon 555 nose-to-tail pork showdown last Sunday and what an amazing event it was. Watch the highlights video and see Chef Matthew Jennings from Farmstead in Providence and 4 top Boston Chefs – Jason Bond, Tony Maws, Jamie Bissonnette and Joseph Margate flex their pork muscles. Pork was poked, prodded, pulled, formed into patés, charcuteries, marshmallows (yes, marshmallows). These guys went all out. Congratulations to all of them for the hard work and creative genius. And a special congratulation to Chef Jennings (pictured above – bottom/left) for winning over both the judges and the crowd.

Thanks to Brady Lowe and Carolina Uribe from Cochon 555 for letting us be a part of this great event. And I would like to share with you the single most important thing I learned. There are some breeds of pig that are in danger of becoming extinct. My first thought was that I shouldn’t be eating them. But I was told, “You have to eat it to save it.” So there you have it. Get thee to a butcher shop or your grocers and load up on pork!
