To continue on the total high of the success of Pig Mountain 2012, I'm just going to post the menu and put up more of Randy Harris' photos. There are a lot of them because they're just that good. If you dig food porn (and I really don't like that term but man, it applies here) you're in for quite an evening...

I don't have the full run down from Paul at the Heron as he is in his busy season and we were on his turf that weekend but he did do an amazing charcuterie plate that included rouilletes and head cheese and all the awesome accompaniments that you could want with it.
And of course since Shawn Gawle of Corton and Matt Ridgeway of Porcsalt totally brought it, they also had their own printed menu:
and here we go with the money shots:
As a final note, I'd like to thank everyone who made Pig Mountain what it was.
The chefs and their crews, Mildred's Lane, the town of Narrowsburg, NY, Sky Dog Farm, the Secular Septet, anyone that helped, lent or said anything that was inspiring, positive or downright funny. To my partner in crime, Matt Solomon. Holy crap.
And to the pigs. You lived a full life and brought a lot of people happiness. You will never be forgotten.
See you in 2013.
