Cochon555
Cochon555, the epic annual food, wine, and spirits celebration, returns to Nashville for the firs time since 2017 on Sunday, March 1. The all-inclusive feast, benefitting the Nashville Food Project, comes to Loews Vanderbilt Hotel as the second stop on the 15-city 2020 tour.
Now in its 11th year, Cochon555 brings together more than 100 industry-leading chefs, farmers, sommeliers, distillers, brewers and barkeeps across the country to create unforgettable culinary experiences that educate and entertain in the name of sustainable, honest and delicious food.
For each event, five prestigious chefs committed to whole-animal cooking partner with farmers who are responsibly raising heritage breed pigs, to create up to six dishes using a 200-pound pig, with one week to prepare. During Cochon555 events, each chef presents the dishes with the goal of earning votes from celebrity judges and participants to win the title of “Prince or Princess of Pork,” who will advance to compete in the culminating event, Grand Cochon, in September. Grand Cochon spotlights the “Best 3 Bites” from all Cochon555 regional events in a head-to-tail, winner-takes-all showdown for the crown.
Nashville's competing chefs will include Chef Julio Hernandez of Nectar: Urban Cantina, Chef Kristin Beringson of Ellington’s, Chef Joey Molteni of Hathorne, Chef Patrick Gossett of Loews Vanderbilt Hotel, and Chef Trey Cioccia of Black Rabbit.
