This Thursday at 7 p.m., Anthony Devoti of Five Bistro on The Hill will be hosting Divine Swine, a $55 wine dinner featuring five courses of pork. All told, the porcine offerings tally up to a dozen: fried ear, braised belly, roasted ham, pan-seared pork cake and pork meatballs plus six selections of house-made charcuterie. For dessert: peach tart paired with bacon ice cream. Five sources all its pork from Benne’s Best Meat in Weldon Spring, so diners may very well see farmers Ron and Jolene Benne in the crowd. Reservations required. To get your spot, call 314.773.5553.
