Then Cochon 555 comes to town April 5, at the Liberty Hotel. The traveling competition features five chefs, five pigs, and five winemakers. Boston's participants are Tony Maws of Craigie on Main, Jamie Bissonnette of Toro, Matthew Jennings of Farmstead in Providence, Jason Bond of Beacon Hill Bistro, and Joseph Margate of Clink. Each chef will prepare an entire heritage pig, and judges will choose a winner to be crowned Prince of Porc.
