Even More Upcoming Pork Events At 701, Bourbon Steak

PENN QUARTER—Tomorrow evening, 701 will be hosting a seven-course wine dinner pairing German Rieslings with pork. Yes, pork. Think bao buns with head cheese and doughnuts with lard cream paired with your finest white wines. Reservations cost $85 for the 7 p.m. seating. Get your information here. [EaterWire]

GEORGETOWN—In other pork news, Bourbon Steak's annual Pig Out pig roast takes place on Sunday and you should probably get tickets now because word on the street is it sells out quickly. That is probably because it costs a mere $35 (or $50 if you want booze, which you know you do) and includes brats, ribs, slaw, a taco stand and porky garnishes for your ice cream and pies. The party starts at noon, folks. [EaterWire]

FOOD TV—Just as the Food Network comes to town to cast for season 8 of Food Network Star, Washingtonian Mary Beth Albright was eliminated from the seventh season last night. The Washington Post has an exit interview in which Albright admits that she gets verklempt talking about Ina Garten. [WaPo]
