I packed a roll with a slice of cheese, and then heated up my leftover pulled pork in the microwave before adding it to the sandwich. Made the entire office hungry!

If I had to choose one meat to eat for the rest of my life, it would be pulled pork.

We all know the best is made in North Carolina.

The best is made by somebody who really knows how to do it right.

There used to be a place in Knoxville, Tennessee, that was the best ever, hands down, in my opinion.

The old owners died off/sold off and it has re-opened under the same name, but it is worthless now.

There's a place in Cleveland, TN that still has some pretty danm good pulled pork, Jordan's BBQ off of Stuart. Large portions and they leave you enough BBQ sauce to drown it in. ****, now I'm hungry too...

Eastern or Western NC BBQ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbecue_in_North_Carolina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbecue_in_North_Carolina)

I am not a fan of pickles on sandwiches. I eat my pickles with cheese.

Eastern all the way but if you put a western style in front of me, it wouldn't last too long either.


You guys are killing me with the cheese. STAHP it :D

Vinegar and pepper need to be the first 2 ingredients of the sauce, period. I can tolerate small amounts of tomato or mustard in a sauce if handled carefully, but I loathe sweet barbeque sauces. In the absence of a good barbeque sauce, something like Tobasco or Pete's, straight out of the bottle, is often acceptable and preferable to a bad homemade sauce.

The vast majority of barbeque is ruined by being too greasy. Really good barbeque must be moist and tender, but with good starting ingredients and careful cooking, the fat can be rendered out while keeping the moisture (hence the long cooking times at well below the boiling point of water).

Really good barbeque does not really need sauce at all.

And sour slaw is the only acceptable condiment.

PS - the place I loved, years ago, prepared (on rare occasions) sliced brisket which they served with cheese, and it was not too bad.

Quite a true statement here. Picked up a REALLY good batch of pulled pork years ago from a hole in the wall with a screen door and about a 15-20 minute line just to get your order in. The purchase was packed into several gallon size ziploc bags. Had the pleasure of enjoying it for breakfast,lunch, and dinner.

There are BBQ joints here in Central Florida but unfortunately they are not as prevalent as they were back home growing up. There hasn't been a shop that I can really say, "Damn this BBQ is good, I must have more". The closest thing I can get to gooooooood stuff has been a recent new contender here--goes by the name of 4Rivers. Doesn't knock my socks off but it works in a pinch.

Nowadays, the closest thing that I regularly eat that is similar is pork shoulder prepared Puerto Rican style called pernil. Traditionally, the cook tends to be a bit fatty/greasy but brushing that aside, the flavor is fantastic. Pair that up with some mofongo and you've got yourself a little succulent taste of heaven.

I'm looking forward to getting some good BBQ from a hole in the wall place when we go on vacation this summer. I always buy a couple bottles of the sauce to bring back with me to.

I favor Cuban style greatly over American barbeque. Too bad for me there is nowhere near me that can manage to make it and I hate slow cooking things in the summer when it is already too damn hot inside and the landlord have forbidden any kind of grills or smokers to have outside even!

I have to go to the hood to get good Cuban sandwiches in Newark, NJ.

Hood is always where all the best restaurants are! Nice areas only seem to have **** restaurants where they make badly prepared bland crap for lame white people... occasionally there is something good, but it will be horrendously overpriced to the hood option.

Man now I want some Cuban food....a few years ago there was a little mom and pop restaurant around where my parents live that had a buffet of authentic cuban food for lunch and half the time I had no idea what exactly it was I was eating but it was all so good. Sadly it closed after a while.

Usually, I have to go to the hole-in-the-wall place in the hood to get the really good Cuban sandwiches.

good Cuban sandwiches in Newark, NJ.

I worked in West Orange a few years ago and there was a great little BBQ-esque place near the ice rink, I think the owner was from Peru.

Pulled pork is pretty delicious. And pretty much everything's better with cheese melted over it. You just can't beat cheese.

I have a feeling they were saying no to the concept of putting cheese on barbeque... in many parts that is a big no no. Sauce, and perhaps depending where you are chopped raw onion, pickles, hot peppers, barbeque slaw are good... but not cheese.

Oh, that makes more sense. That's not the case around here. I usually do pulled pork in a slow cooker, in any case.

If you don't put cheese on the bbq, how do you make cheeseburgers?

In the US barbeque is a style, usually slow smoke cooked of which pulled pork often falls into. Cooking burgers and other things on the outdoor grill is something different... though some people do call it barbequing in some areas it's not the same thing necessarily.

Yeah, this.  Cheese on a BBQ sandwich would net you some strange looks around here.
