Cochon Knows Pork

20071113cochon.JPG

New South Philly cash-only BYOB Cochon just got the Daily News treatment. You know what? If you're going to a restaurant named after swine, you should stick to the pork:

In what seems to be Cochon's signature dish for now, Slow Roasted Pork Shoulder over Lentils duPuy, roasted brussels sprouts and poached egg ($20) certainly was worthy of top billing. Giuffi cures the shoulder in seasonings for two days and then slow-roasts from 12 to 15 hours. The pork was tender and proved Chef does have a way with pig.

Minor quibble is that there should have been a few more brussels sprouts, but the still-liquid yolk oozed into the sauce and melded well with the lentils. Good execution. "
