FYI, there will be a MASS amount of updates in the near future of recipes Katie and I have tried and restaurant reviews, however, for now just a brief update on new and exciting things.
Cochon555 was a event held on 5/23 to crown one of ten “Princes of Pork”, held in Seattle at the International convention center at Pier 66. My wife and I were able to attend as VIPs because of a contest Chef John Sundstrom of Lark held. He asked for a recipe that he could use as inspiration for one of his dishes at this event. My idea was pineapple pork upside cake layered with smoked pork shoulder and drizzled with harissa sauce. His interpretation turned into pork shoulder, on a puff pastery, with a pineapple vanilla habanero relish, and a soy ginger sauce. It was amazing, and there was a buzz going around that it could be THE dish of the evening. It turns out that Chef Sundstrom did win the “Prince of Pork” crown later that night! He will be going to Aspen for the Grand Cochon event where he will compete with 9 other chefs from around the county for the “King of Pork” crown. Good luck John and I can’t wait to dine at Lark in the near future
