Giant 85LB Pigs Head

February 17, 2009 on 1:47 am | In Photos | Comments

The day I had surgery an 85lb pigs head was delivered to the restaurant. When I got the call the next day about this pigs head I was excited but bummed I couldn’t be there. So to make sure I was happy my Pastry Chef Thomas took great photos on the butchering and cooking process. I know you have seen how to butcher the pigs head from me in the past but I am really happy that my team nailed it with this pigs head.

Thanks guys you did a great job as always.

    Wow, now I wish I’d taken bought that pig head when I had the chance! But I had no idea what to do with it and none of my meat cookbooks yielded any information. 20-21st century cookbooks assume all meat comes butchered and ready for cooking.
