You might be sitting there being all, “whatever, butchering demonstrations, yawn,” but what The Bristol chef Chris Pandel has in store for February 25 is a far cry from your average “watch a dude break down a hog side.” For starters, the event (which is the latest in Time Out’s series of Dining & Libation Society dinners) begins with a Bacon Manhattan cocktail. For seconds, Pandel is a masterful butcher, and we imagine watching him dismember a whole pig is akin to ballet. For thirds, the demo is accompanied by a nine-course dinner, with beer pairings, incorporating the very pieces of pig you just saw butchered. It’s $95 per person, and you can reserve your space here.
