Cochon 555 is the only heritage pig and chef competition in the U.S. that showcases 5 chefs, 5 pigs and 5 winemakers in a friendly competition for a cause.

In a competition like no other, the five chefs are challenged to use a whole pig to create a series of dishes for a large audience of epicureans, media, noteworthy judges and trade. We followed Bouche, an up-and-coming French and California bistro in San Francisco and their young chef Nicolas Borzee, a native of Alsace, France.

Nicolas worked in the finest restaurants in France for ten years, training with Joel Robuchon and Michel Troigros in Paris, and with Alain Ducasse in Monaco. Moving in San Francisco three years ago, Nicolas comes to Bouche by way of Coi, where he was a sous chef. At Bouche he is now cooking traditional French and Mediterranean dishes with Bay Area ingredients and inspiration.

Here are some of the pictures we took last night, hope you enjoy them:
