The Leaping Pig Charcuterie

04/10/2026

Some people are working on their summer body…

We’re working on our grill game.

And honestly… we’re good with that.

The Ultimate Summer Grill Master: Crafting Perfect Sausages
Join us for a hands-on sausage class where you’ll learn to make:
🔥 Beef chorizo (Argentinian-style)
🔥 Bratwurst from scratch
🔥 Choripán loaded with chimichurri + grilled peppers & onions

You’ll grind it, mix it, stuff it—and take it home.

No experience needed. Just show up ready to learn (and eat well).

📍 UAPTC
📅 April 21 (%:30 - 8:30)
🎟 Only a few spots left (sign up here: https://reg130.imperisoft.com/UAPTC/ProgramDetail/313236383235/Registration.aspx

Eat well. Live well.

Behind the scenes at UA-PTCAHMI getting ready for something special.

The Leaping Pig Charcuterie is honored to be part of the Diamond Chef Arkansas 2026 VIP Experience—a night that celebrates culinary talent and supports an incredible cause.

We’ll be serving up two of our signature bacon sandwiches—recipes we teach in our Makin’ Bacon classes at UA - Pulaski Tech Community Education and Brightwater NWA

🥓 The Classic (BLTandP) with a twist: Made with our signature Maple bacon

🔥 The BL-Chi: Made with our own house-made Arkansas Bacon

Everything starts the same way: handcrafted, from scratch, and smoked to perfection.

Huge thanks to Marks and for opening her lab kitchen to us and for letting us be part of this incredible event.

If you haven’t checked out Diamond Chef, it’s more than a competition—it’s a fundraiser that supports the next generation of chefs right here in Arkansas.

🌫️ The air is crisp, the fire is slow… and the smoke drifts like poetry.
It’s cold smoking season at The Leaping Pig — when bacon, salmon, and meats meet the perfect chill for that deep, delicate kiss of smoke. 🥓🔥🐟
You can feel it in the air… and taste it soon enough.
