MISSION:
FROM KOREAN TO ASADO, JAPANESE TO AMERICAN, TODAY’S FOOD ENTHUSIASTS LOVE GLOBALLY-INFLUENCED BBQ. The “White Hot” Heritage BBQ series includes some of the hottest of names in kitchens, breweries, vineyards and distilleries in a COCHON555-branded tasting-style reception all taking place during National Bourbon Month. The Cochon US Tour is dedicated to practicing social and environmental responsibility, while continuing whole animal education through flavorful experiences. If you have ever been to a COCHON555 event, you know that its all about a ton of food, tasty drinks, and great times. Started in 2012 in an effort to bridge the gap between family farms and all categories of BBQ restaurants, Heritage BBQ by COCHON555, is the first national BBQ event dedicated to supporting a new direction for heritage breed pigs. Created by Cochon Founder Brady Lowe, Heritage BBQ aims to engage BBQ chefs/ restaurant in local and sustainable food conversations in an effort to raise awareness for responsible farming by hosting events
putting local back into barbeque
with well-known chefs, craft brewers, great winemakers, and prestigious distillers. “The goal is to create team building events that showcase the growth potential of BBQ restaurants buying whole heritage pigs from family farms. The process and judging format is the best approach at whole animal utilization, whereas we do not create a burden on small farmers to hold a surplus of unwanted animal parts during any part of our competition,” says Lowe. The events are hyper-local and they create word-of-mouth marketing for family farms. It’s an honor to have a national spotlight right and develop a message with a deeper meaning, far beyond competition BBQ. Today, we are reaching out to people who care about the conversation of local food made by real people. This event series is unlike any BBQ event you know...

NATIONAL
BOURBON MONTH PROMOTING CRAFT AMERICAN BOURBON, WHISKEY, RYE & SPIRITS
ON AUGUST 2, 2007, THE US SENATE DECLARED THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER AS “NATIONAL BOURBON MONTH.” National Bourbon Month is
an observance in the United States that calls for celebration of bourbon as America’s “Native Spirit.” Additionally, COCHON has claimed Labor Day weekend in Memphis to spotlight and promote the Craft American Spirit industry, from the distillers to the craft cocktail makers, to the consumers who enjoy responsibly and in moderation. We believe through our appreciation of craft spirits, we will be sending the message that family heritage, tradition, and the preservation of hand-crafted spirits are deep-rooted in the United States.
ANNOUNCING
