LAS VEGAS— Traveling pork orgy Cochon 555 has announced an anniversary, all-star event in Las Vegas on October 20. The All-Star Cochon at Commonwealth will feature chefs from the event's first five years, and in a departure from the usual format, won't be a competition: instead, 11 chefs like David Varley (Seattle), Levon Wallace (Louisville), and Chad Colby (LA) will serve an "Asian barbecue brunch."
