I'm having a luau during Memorial Day weekend and plan on roasting a whole pig. To make it a bit easier on my part, I would like to find a butcher shop that has the pig already sliced & seasoned for you, so all I would need to do is place it in a cajun microwave. Help would be greatly appreciated. Any suggestions???

Rouses could probably do it for you.

So would Cochon Butcher, but I'm thinking they'd charge a lot more.

I'd give Emmet's Meats a call. They are out in Harahan

you could maybe call Dorignacs. Another option I would try is send Tom Fitzmorris an e-mail(or call his show) on his website Nomenu.com. He would prolly have the best idea about something like that in NOLA

Chris' Specialty Meats in Baton Rouge and Prairieville sells them split, seasoned, and injected. They're $2.99/lb for 60 pounds +, $3.99 for 40-60, and $4.99 for 20-40.

They actually have decent prices. I got two pounds of ground brisket from there which went into some awesome burgers.

I have gotten whole pigs dressed and ready to go from Rare Cuts, Butcher, Rouses, and Dorignacs. I suspect Langenstein's could also get them. Just give any of those butcher shops a heads up as to what you want and they will do it.

Although I would suggest seasoning it yourself so you control that. If I knew how to post pictures I'd show a 20 pounder I got from Rouses in November that I stuffed with apples, red wine, rosemary, bread, mirepoix, and its kidneys. It rocked.
