Matthew Ghabrial began his tenure in the service industry as a teenager, working in a New Jersey pizzeria. In 2003, he moved to New Orleans to attend Loyola University, where he graduated with a degree in Latin American Studies. Matthew worked in several restaurants and bars in New Orleans until joining up with Cochon in 2006, originally as a server and later a bartender.

Shortly thereafter, he took the helm at Cochon Butcher as General Manager.
Inspired by the Cajun and Southern cooking of his grandparents, Louisiana native Chef Donald Link began his professional cooking career at 15 years old. Recognized as one of New Orleans’ preeminent chefs, Chef Link has peppered the streets of the Warehouse District of New Orleans with several restaurants over the course of the past fifteen years. Herbsaint, a contemporary take on the French-American “bistro” was Link’s first restaurant. Cochon, opened with chef-partner Stephen Stryjewski, is where Link offers true Cajun and Southern cooking featuring the foods and cooking techniques he grew up preparing and eating. Cochon Butcher is a tribute to Old World butcher and charcuterie shops which also serves a bar menu, sandwiches, wine and creative cocktails. Calcasieu is Chef Link’s private event facility that takes its name from one of the parishes in the Acadiana region of southwest Louisiana. Pêche Seafood Grill serves simply prepared coastal seafood with a unique, modern approach to old world cooking methods featuring rustic dishes prepared on an open hearth over hardwood coals. Enjoy handcrafted pastries and breads at La Boulangerie Link’s neighborhood bakery and café.
Link’s flagship restaurant Herbsaint earned him a James Beard award in 2007 for Best Chef South. The same year Cochon was nominated for Best New Restaurant; Link was also nominated by the James Beard Foundation for the prestigious award of Outstanding Chef for multiple years. Pêche Seafood Grill was awarded Best New Restaurant at the 2014 James Beard Foundation Awards. Gourmet Magazine listed Herbsaint as one of the top 50 restaurants in America, and was inducted into the Nations Restaurant News Hall of Fame. Cochon was listed in The New York Times as "one of the top 3 restaurants that count” and recently named one of the 20 most important restaurants in America by Bon Appétit. For his commitment to the industry, the Louisiana Restaurant Association honored Link by naming him Restaurateur of the Year in 2012.
The James Beard Foundation also honored Link’s first cookbook-- Real Cajun: Rustic Home Cooking from Donald Link’s Louisiana (Clarkson Potter) with their top award for Best American Cookbook. Released in 2009. Real Cajun is a collection of family recipes that Link has honed and perfected while honoring the authenticity of the Cajun people. In February 2014, Link celebrated the release of his second cookbook "Down South: Bourbon, Pork, Gulf Shrimp & Second Helpings of Everything," (Clarkson-Potter), which looks beyond New Orleans and Louisiana at dishes in nearby states.
In 2015, Chefs Link and Stryjewski created the Link Stryjewski Foundation to address the persistent cycle of violence and poverty, as well as the lack of quality education and job training opportunities available to young people in New Orleans. http://www.linkstryjewski.org

Our passion to showcase the remarkable bounty of the Southern region is revealed through our commitment to developing long lasting relationships with the network of farmers we work with. Our Forager, Ashley Locklear, cultivates those relationships by working hand-in-hand with these growers to develop and procure the exact ingredients each chef wants to utilize when crafting their menus at our family of restaurants. Our recipes honor the simplicity of the food and we celebrate the ingredients that are incorporated into each dish.
Ashley spends her days visiting farmers, walking their fields seeing firsthand how things are growing. She’s scouring Louisiana’s farmlands for sublime raw ingredients and invests time working directly with farmers to grow specific varieties of produce that Chef Donald Link and his team of chefs would like to utilize in their kitchens. Her network of farmers spans a 250-mile radius of New Orleans, providing the freshest produce picked at its peak. She believes food it about flavor, just as much as freshness.

TOP 10 RESTAURANTS
BY BRETT ANDERSON
Since its opening in 2006, Cochon, and its more casual appendage, Cochon Butcher, has inspired countless chefs, both locally and nationally, to harness the raw power hidden in the hoofs and crannies of whole hogs. I have yet to visit a restaurant that deploys this power as artfully as Cochon. Yes, the collaboration between James-Beard-award-winning chefs Donald Link and Stephen Stryjewski (see also Herbsaint and Peche) counts fried livers, fried pig’s ears and bacon and fried oyster sandwiches as staples. So Cochon is in no danger of overvaluing subtlety. But neither is it in danger of falling prey to a sensibility that values shocking diners more than pleasing them, an unappetizing glitch in the strategies of too many American restaurants run by chefs less mature than Cochon’s. The restaurant’s food is rich, but the story it tells about Cajun and Southern cooking hasn’t grown tired because it’s also balanced. The balance is in the details of each plate, where all manner of produce, herbs and pickles keep the robust cooking in check, and on the menu as a whole, which includes arguably New Orleans’ best seafood court-bouillon and an arsenal of vegetable side dishes (say yes to the squash stewed with okra and tomatoes) that are alone worth the price of admission. Yes, the dining room is loud. Yours would be too if you knew how to make a ham hock sing.
On The Road: New Orleans
Cochon (with Butcher) has been selected by The Food Network for ‘On The Road: New Orleans.’
PASTRY CHEFS STILL GETTING CREATIVE WITH KING CAKES
BY SUSAN LANGENHENNIG
Seeing the first king cakes arrive in my neighborhood grocery store last weekend reminded me of a quip a friend made last year about plain king cakes, the unfilled kind. Only in New Orleans, he said, could you call something coated with frosting, dusted with sugar and baked with a plastic baby inside “plain” with a straight face. Each year, bakeries, cafes, restaurants and doughnut shops up the ante on what goes in or on a king cake…. It’s hard not to marvel at the variations. This year, bananas show up in at least three filled varieties that I’ve come across: the Elvis at Cochon Butcher… As Carnival 2013 kicks off, I checked in with a few places to see what else is coming out of the oven. Cochon Butcher With layers of chocolate peanut butter; apple and Creole cream cheese; and lemon doberge, pastry chef Rhonda Ruckman’s king cakes almost call out for a new hybrid dessert category. Her most over-the-top flavor is an homage to another sort of royalty: The “Elvis” is filled with bananas, peanut butter, house-cured bacon and topped with toasted marshmallow. The Elvis is sold daily by the slice or as a whole cake by special order in advance. And, like last year, Ruckman’s king cakes come with a tiny pink piglet instead of a baby, a cute touch from a restaurant named for the French word for pig.
CROWN THE KING WITH BACON – AREA BAKERS TACKLE CARNIVAL CONFECTION WITH UNUSUAL FLAVORS
BY BETH COLVIN
The king behind Cochon Butcher’s king cake isn’t the one we usually associate with the Mardi Gras pastry. This one’s a little more rock ‘n’ roll. For Mardi Gras, the restaurant at 930 Tchoupitoulas Street, New Orleans, will serve an Elvis king cake, filled with peanut butter and bananas and topped with toasted marshmallows and bacon. “They’re a little bit crazy,” pastry chef Rhonda Ruckman said of the confection, which started out last year as gifts to friends. “It’s fun and different.” This isn’t Cochon’s first flirtation with Elvis-inspired food. In the past, Butcher featured Elvis sandwiches and the main Cochon restaurant also featured Elvis ice cream. Michael Carmody, Ruckman’s assistant, came up with the idea for a crawfish boil and then it was tested out on friends and family. The Elvis cake joins Cochon Butcher’s lineup of cinnamon, lemon, apple and creole cream cheese, and chocolate peanut butter king cakes. This year, all but the Elvis cake will be offered in individual sizes. The Elvis cake will be available by the slice in the restaurant or can be ordered whole. Unlike some other outlets, Cochon Butcher won’t offer its Elvis cakes until January 6 – Twelfth Night, the traditional start of the Mardi Gras season. “We’re traditionalists in that sense,” Ruckman says.
BEST SANDWICH SHOPS: COCHON BUTCHER; NEW ORLEANS
For the past decade, we’ve lived in an era of pumped-up burger cooks, who have done impossibly good—and not so good—things with ground beef and a bun. Now, finally, there’s news for everyone who has had more than enough burgers. It’s time to make way for the sandwich chefs and their incredible creations. Chef Donald Link’s acclaimed Cochon muffuletta, with house meats and olive salad, is always on the menu.
THE 50 BEST SOUTHERN FOODS: MEATS
Cochon Butcher: In a town where po’boys and muffulettas call into question the sanity of any soul who opts for a sliced-bread sandwich, Cochon Butcher’s Stephen Stryjewski and Donald Link fight back hard with this Southern spin on grilled cheese. Slices of Swiss and house-cured, uncrisped bacon made from shoulder meat hold their own, but it’s a careful layering of vinegar-laced collard greens cooked al dente that nudges the bacon melt onto the bucket list.
THE 50 BEST NEW U.S. RESTAURANTS
BY ANYA VON BREMZEN
Cochon Butcher: This new Warehouse District wine bar and meat market combo from the owners of Herbsaint and Cochon brings a loving Cajun inflection to the art of cured meat. Try the housemade boudin sausages or tasso ham, grab a muffuletta sandwich to go, or sample such irrestible $6 bar bites as andouille sausage pizzetta with a glass of Barbere d’Asti. Those bacon pralines? They’re the next big food fad in the making.
HOT TABLES: 50 Amazing Restaurants
Each year, our team of voracious eaters sets off, fork in hand, to search out the world’s most exciting new restaurants – as always, traveling anonymously and paying for every last bite of foie gras. Countless courses later, we’ve narrowed the field to 50 tables in 26 countries. From bargain prix fixes in Paris to blowout feasts in Dubai, there’s something for every taste and budget. (Cochon Butcher) This self-described swine bar and eatery is chef-owner Donald Link’s addition to his wildly popular Cochon. Nestled behind the restaurant, the compact space ha a small market stocked with homemade charcuterie and pickled vegetables, as well as a handful of stools for sipping wine and tucking into small plates. Dishes like pickled pig’s feet and Cajun-spiced soppressata pay homage to both the pig and the Big Easy, and there’s a deliciously fatty pressed duck pastrami sandwich oozing with melted Gruyére. Tip: Come at lunch and don’t leave without trying the smoky bacon pralines.
THE GREAT AMERICAN SANDWICH
BY JANET FLETCHER
In the hands of talented American chefs, the sandwich comes edible art. These seven takes on traditional lunch-box fare revisit the format with whimsy, style and spice. Today’s best sandwiches upend old notions about what belongs between two slices of bread. Although lettuce and mayo haven’t gotten the boot, America’s most notable sandwich artisans no longer feel obliged to include them. Chefs like Donald Link at New Orleans’s recently opened Cochon Butcher Shop apply the same finicky standards to sandwiches that they do to the rest of the menu. Cochon’s muffuletta admits only house-cured meats, from mortadella to Genoa salami to supple sliced ham. The chef also prepares his own giardiniera , the signature olive relish that marks a muffuletta.
The Hot 10 – Best New Places for Hot Dogs
By Andrew Knowlton
While the classic hot dog with ketchup and mustard is near culinary perfection, the frank continues to inspire fresh versions at restaurants across the country. Here’s what chefs are teaching old dogs plenty of new tricks.
Cochon Butcher – Orleans
Boutique butcher-shop fans take note: The housemade meats are sold by the pound, as well as on sandwiches like the muffuletta or the hot pork sausage with mustard and sauerkraut.
