IN HOG HEAVEN | A PHOTO RECAP OF 100EATS100DAYS PIGOUT 1.0
Sunday, August 5th, 2012 was a glorious day of sunshine, craft cocktails & gourmet pork-centric feasting thanks to the first-ever PigOut 1.0 hosted by 100eats100days & Broadway by Amar Santana at Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort in Newport Beach, California. Over 15 of Orange County’s top chefs & mixologists were in attendance & guests had an amazing time pigging-out while simultaneously raising funds for two noteworthy charities that support aspiring culinary artists: Inspire Artistic Minds & the Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP).
I was in hog heaven as I wandered from booth-to-booth, chatting with the chefs & bartenders, bumping into friends & devouring some of the most delicious pork I’ve ever tasted. Oh, and naturally my camera was strapped to my neck (As usual! I’m thinking of having it surgically implanted.), so I was in my food-photography-zone, capturing all that I could in-between bites & sips.
Below, you can feast your eyes on a recap-through-photos of this celebration of the swine. It truly was an amazing event and I can only hope for more like it in the future! So that said, be sure to follow 100eats100days on Facebook & Twitter for up-to-the-minute news on future events! **Oink! Oink!**
The amazing Break of Dawn Braised Bacon: Pork belly cured for 7 days in ginger, rosemary & black pepper, dried overnight, smoked, and then braised in the oven until mind-blowingly tender & juicy.
