The Austin Food and Wine Alliance is “dedicated to fostering awareness and innovation in the Central Texas culinary community…” At the 2nd Annual Wine & Swine they certainly made everyone aware of all things pork with 18 chefs flexing their culinary muscles. At least half of them had whole hogs spit-roasted overnight while others worked pork into tacos, soups, and desserts. As if that wasn’t worth the entry fee, I was generously given a free media pass that included an invitation to a VIP party. We bought a ticket for Ev, put on our stretchy pants, had a small breakfast, and were on our way! (Warning: several whole-roasted pigs appear in photos below)
