The return visit of Cochon555 to Los Angeles proved to be a most well attended event with a bustling number of people eager to sample a large number of luxury foods and beverages.  The food centered around pork which was served in by a number of prominent chefs and farmers.  The beverages by a collection of wineries, brewers and distillers showing the very best vintages, beers and a collection of truly outstanding bourbons.
It all took place both indoor and outdoor at the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica and lived up to its billing title "Five Chefs, Five Pigs, Five Winemakers, Five Somms, Five Barkeeps....for one Charity".  The Charity is called Piggy Bank and was created to offer a farming sanctuary for heritage breed pigs.
Those attending after tasting the offered goodies had the opportunity to vote on who was their favorite chef  among the five that participated.  They included Lord Maynard Llera, Hugo Bolanos, local from Hotel Bel-Air, Thomas Bille, Brian Redzikowski from San Diego's Kettner Exchange and Sammy Monsour.
As usual we always keep how we voted a secret.
If you truly enjoy the best in culinary achievements and superior quality wines and spirits the place to be on Sunday was Cochon555.
