We’ll file this one under things things that really kind of freak us out but hey, the menu sounds good. Meritage chef Anne Coll is hosting a pig dinner this evening inspired by her new pet piglet, Jenny.

Yes, Coll’s new pet pig has inspired her to cook a four-course pork centric dinner. We understand that many chefs have a strong connection to pigs. We know more than a few who have porcine tattoos, but this is the first time we’ve seen a chef cook a pork dinner in honor of their pet pig.

The dinner is available only tonight for $39 per person.
