Mmm, Pork Events at Park Place

If there is one restaurant in town that could be called the place for pork lovers I think Park Place would be it. Seriously.

The evidence part 1
"..with the recent legal release of Iberico Ham in the United States, Chef Jay Denham has secured a portion for his loyal guests at Park Place. Through the month of February, this delectable ham from Spain will be featured as a special part of the Lateral Ham Tasting of America's Best Old Country Hams. The cost is $20. Quantities are limited, so be sure to get in and taste pure indulgence on a plate."

I've heard of the wondrous qualities of Iberico ham but have never tried them for myself. Looks like I've found a reason to head downtown for dinner next week.

The evidence part 2
"Chef Denham has invited some legendary friends to Park Place on Main for a one night only event! Nancy Newsom from Newsom's Aged Kentucky Country Ham, Allen Benton from Benton's Country Ham and extension professor of meat science at the University of Kentucky Greg Rentfrow are just a few of the pork aficionados who will join the line up for an evening of unforgettable dishes and history on Monday, March 17. The cost is $100 per person and includes a tasting of cured and potted meats and an educational and interactive look at pork. Seating will be very limited for this interactive event, so be sure to save your seat soon."

The description of this event has left my mouth watering. It's too expensive for me to be able to attend. If you can afford it and don't go I don't even want to hear about it. I'm just going to assume that anyone who likes pork and can spend $200 on a Monday night dinner for 2 without breaking a sweat will see what a fantastic event this is going to be and will naturally be dialing right now to get reservations.
