RED HOOK — Bacon chocolate chip cookies, anyone?
Pig Island is back with dozens of pork-tastic delicacies that will be dished out at Erie Basin Park next to Red Hook's Ikea on Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Tickets are priced at $85 and are still available for purchase online. The fee includes admission, unlimited beer and pork samples, cider, wine and other beverages. Children who are 12 years old and under can enter for free with an adult.
Tickets will also be available at the gate but will cost $100 in cash only.
Now in its sixth year, more than a dozen chefs will be taking part in the pork fest, each with their own unique recipes, organizers said.
Some of the options include Grecian-style pulled pork from Chef Thomas Perone, Fatty 'Cue Brooklyn's Pig Shawarma and Route 66 Smokehouse's smoked pork lettuce wrap tacos.
The event will also feature an expanded drinks menu with spirits, wines and ciders, such as Sixpoint Ales, Down East Cider, Hudson Whiskey, Widow Jane and Van Brunt Stillhouse.
