In Pursuit of the Perfect Pig
Carl Blake
Friday, 18 Oct 2013 at 6:00 pm – Gallery, Memorial Union
Carl Blake has been researching and working for years to craft the most delicious pig in the country. Now, his Iowa Swabian Halls, raised on his fifteen-acre Rustik Rooster Farm, are winning culinary contests, attracting praise from chefs across the country, and drawing the interest of the Food Channel's Andrew Zimmern. He will share how his life's work went from computer consulting to a passion for pig perfection, and to a guest appearance with two piglets on The Colbert Report.
