What can I say about
Cochon 555 in Seattle? A lot. But I'll let the photos do most of the talking. Not only was there
Buty and bacon, but also delicious wines from
K Vintners,
Domaine Serene, and
Syncline:

Charles Smith of K Vintners was on hand to pour the Phil Lane Syrah:

Here's the skin and ear salad with cherry bomb chiles:

The trio of offerings from

There was palate-cleansing beer courtesy of Charles Finkel from
Pike Brewing. (Where do I get one of those beer-dispensing backpacks?)
Cafe Juanita had a menu both instructive and delicious:

Of course there was dessert:

How did
Ethan Stowell color his ravioli dough? The secret was pig blood.
Joule had wonderful sauces to accompany their roasted pork. I had the one on the left with serrano chiles and fish sauce. (At least that's what I thought it was. Regardless, it was fantastic.)

Thanks for being awesome, Cochon 555. See you next year?
