- The team from restaurants Public/Double Crown. First row (from left to right): Ryan Butler, Adam Farmerie, Brad Farmerie, Chris Rendell, Matt Lambert. Second row: Marion Emmanuelle, Dana Lapan, Kim Johnson.
I suppose it has happened, but I have never seen chef Brad Farmerie (co-owner of restaurants Public and Double Crown) take on the whole hog without leaving folks gasping for more. With steely resolve Farmerie turned the 200-pound Red Wattle from Heritage Farms USA into Pig on the Beach with lavender cured ham (Pork fat washed cachaca with homemade pineapple juice…I mean, who does this?); Pig liver creme caramel with maple roasted grapes; Pig’s head terrine with guindilla gribiche; Pig blood popsiclle, tomato chili jam and toasted peanuts; smoked pork bone laksa; Old school pot o’ pork with pickles; Pork and black pudding pie with pear chutney; Fakin’ bacon cinnamon rolls with miso caramel. The win guarantees him a slot at The Nationals at The Aspen Food & Wine Classic in Aspen festival this summer.
The winning menu.
