Pig Island Asked Chefs To Go Whole-Hog

Pig Island went down on Saturday afternoon at New York's Governors Island. We're big fans of this event, which pulls together 30+ chefs from around the Northeast and provides them with a whole heritage hog to cook with. Our friends at Metromix were on the scene with a report and photos.

Also, we reached out to organizer Jimmy Carbone (of Jimmy's No. 43 ) to ask him for his five favorite dishes from the event:

1. Trio of pig sandwich, bone soup and bacon flan for dessert! Top prize!!
2. Thai bone soup from Duck's Eatery
3. Danish smorrebrod from Neuman Catering
4. Pig head tacos with made-to-order tortillas from Palo Santo
5. Pork pie from Delicatessen
