PIGment-By Seannie Cameras and Tittsworth

Culture April 22, 2011 123 Comments

We love tattoos.
We love food.
So clearly it makes total sense to tattoo a pig…
and then eat it.

As the online epicenter for food, tattoos and oddities, Tittsworth.com is proud to announce PIGment – one of the weirdest culinary events we could dream up. Team members for this gastronomic adventure include Ba Bay, a new modern Vietnamese restaurant in Capitol Hill, EcoFriendly Foods, a celebrated agricultural advocate and farm, and of course our usual partners in crime at Tattoo Paradise.

The game plan: Bev Eggelston, founder of EcoFriendly Foods, will donate a local pig. Artists from Tattoo Paradise will then tattoo Wilbur. No, you will not die or even poison yourself by eating tattooed pork, as participating artists are using all-natural cuttlefish ink (another EcoFriendly Foods contribution). Once the pig is inked up, chef Nick Sharpe from Ba Bay will prepare them in modern Vietnamese fashion: one course features pork mousse and egg yolk dumplings in broth with smoked hock and celery hearts. The tournament winner is you!

Reservations are required as seating is limited.
5 course dinner is $65.
Proceeds to benefit Red Cross Japan.
There are two seatings: 5pm and 8:30pm

Monday, May 2 is when we tattoo and roast the WHOLE pig at Ba Bay, 633 Pennsylvaia Ave SE.

E-mail info@babaydc.com or call 202.547.1787 to make a reservation or for more info.
