What's Cookin' at Cochon

Inspired by James Beard Award-winning Chef Donald Link’s native Louisiana upbringing, Cochon’s Cajun menu features traditional southwest Louisiana delicacies. Signature dishes include an oyster-and-bacon sandwich, fried boudin with pickled peppers, black-eyed pea-and-pork gumbo, and hearty pulled pork with turnips, cracklings and cabbage.

For dessert, the Cochon offers homestyle confections such as chocolate peanut butter pie and pineapple upside-down cake. The menu also showcases an array of small-batch bourbon, locally crafted beer, great wine and a few varieties of moonshine.
