This event series is unlike any BBQ event you know! Similar to Cochon 555, Heritage BBQ is a tasting event where five chef teams are each challenged to utilize one whole heritage breed pig to win votes. Each chef crew must prepare one plate showcasing the whole hog in six distinct dishes comprised of four meats and two sides – which means that there will be no less than 30 heritage pork dishes to feast on! The competing chef teams in Louisville include Edward Lee and Kevin Ashworth of Milkwood (Louisville); Tyler Morris of Rye on Market (Louisville); Coby Lee Ming of Harvest (St. Louis); Levon Wallace of Proof on Main (Louisville); and Annie Pettry of Decca (Louisville).
