Atlanta chef, restaurateur and “Top Chef” alum Kevin Gillespie is pumped about pork. He loves it so much he's dedicated his second cookbook, “Pure Pork Awesomeness: Totally Cookable Recipes From Around the World,” to all things swine. The book hits shelves on March 31, but he's inviting fans to come pig out with him on Friday, April 3, for a special cookbook demo, tasting and book signing at Pirch (Lenox Marketplace - located across from Phipps Plaza - 3535 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 230).

The cookbook event for “Pure Pork Awesomeness” takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. Admission is $50 and includes a signed copy of the book, demonstration, an array of appetizing pork offerings and brews from Angry Orchard.
