National Culinary Competition At Commonwealth! All Star Cochon!

Commonwealth and Cochon 555, a national culinary competition promoting heritage breed pigs, will join forces for All-Star Cochon, a late night Asian feast on Sunday, Oct. 20, at 5 p.m. The non-competitive pork tasting will celebrate the end of the Cochon 555 fifth anniversary tour.
