OPPR - Other People’s Pig Roast

Look how ahead of the pack we are!  Our Eat+Drink Supper Club pig roast has been set for weeks with Chef Jocelyn Guest from Lindy & Grundy fame.  Private club 41 Ocean just announced their Memorial Day pig roast this Monday.  I guess imitation is the best form of flattery.

The Best Pig?

I posted a New York Times article a week or so ago about Carl Edgar Blake and his quest to make the perfect pig.  He matched a Russian wild boar with a Chinese pig that he had read about on the interwebs - in 1821 King Wilhelm from Germany bred these two pigs and started winning contests with what was called a Swabian Hall pig.  Now Carl is winning awards all over the country with his Iowan Swabian Hall pig.  

Stephen Colbert holds an Iowan Swabian Hall piglet while eating prosciutto.  Hysterical.
