Eyeballing the Pig
Just like Joey of 80 Breakfasts, above, more than 40 people - all MarketManila readers and friends - came by car, by ferry, by plane to get up close and personal with "the best pig... ever!"
A souvenir from Lee, and a good piece of advice from Marketman.

Wow! I look so happy! Hahahaha! :)
I had such fun as usual with all of you guys! And of course, being surrounded by my favorite food!!! Definitely a pilgrimage of sorts for me ;)
hi socky! it was nice meeting you at the EB even though time was short to really share foodie tales. hope to see you again though, specially in the next EB! thanks for the great pics.
Yes, Joan, time was short and the food was such a distraction, too. Ha-ha! We should have more EB's!
hi socky,
nice to have met you over all that food. the short hike up the hill was fun, too. see you at the next EB. great blog!
That pic of me wiping MM's perspiration is hilarious! When Mrs. MM gave me those paper towels and asked me to dab his face, I was a bit nervous -- he or others might think I was flirting, hahaha! But really: how much more of a celebrity could he feel than to have someone drying his sweat?!
OMG! That must have been so cool. Kainggit...!
Hi, millet. It was great meeting you too and I wish we can have a reunion of all those who attended the Lechon Eyeball - this time, not so much to eat but to know everyone a little better.
Chinkee, Jerome has an upcoming Beaujolais event but I will be out of the country then. I wonder if you're going so I can enjoy the wines vicariously.
hi socky!
hope to see you all again in the next eyeball. Dapat breakfast to breakfast affair.

Hi socky!
Looks like everyone had a great time.
That lechon looks amazing!!!
Lee, make sure Bambi joins us!
Hi, Franco, that pig was more luscious and seductive in person. Was in fact wondering why Table for Three wasn't there. Don't miss the next one!
I enjoyed the post, Socky, and envy you guys. Been a while since I've had lechon, but as luck would have it in San Francisco I had Italian porchetta recently (you can check it out in the blog: http://vineyardgate.com/newsblog/2008/11/villa_italias_porchetta_lunche.html). What can i say, roast pig rules.
By the way, did you enjoy any wines with the lechon?
Yup, alex, read all about your porchetta. The pig's on a roll, ha- ha!
I have a cebu-based wine supplier who supplies spanish wines (I order from him and have a friend deliver them to me in Manila!) I got 8 rosados from him to share with the eyeball attendees. Senorio de los Llanos 2004. Nice, easy quaffing wine. Suprisingly this wine went well with the mildly spiced sisig.
