2013 marks the fifth year of Cochon 555, a competition that pits five local chefs against one another to prepare a menu concocted from the entirety of heritage breed pigs for an audience of pork-loving epicureans and celebrated judges.

This year's competing chefs are Mark Richardson (of the Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco) Omri Aflalo (Bourbon Steak), Adam Sobel (RN74), Scott Youkilis (Hi Lo BBQ / Hog & Rocks), and Christopher Thompson (A16). The winner, selected from 20 judges and 400 guests, will be crowned the Prince of Pork and will later go up against other regional finalists at the Grand Cochon event in Aspen in June.
