The time has come to take a walk on the wild side of barbeque, my friend. We’re not talking about drowning some meat in a bottle of sauce and slapping it on the grill. Oh no. My genuine taste is born out of love with the precise and skillful techniques of my chefs. By the time I reach you I have been brined, injected with a top-secret sauce, dry rubbed and have spent nearly 14 hours sweating up a storm in a smoker fueled with hickory wood. Why do I put myself through this timely transformation? To satisfy your every want and need, of course.
In preparation to bare all, pieces of my meaty shoulder are stacked high and mighty onto your plate, with just the right touch of a tomato-based sensuous slathering sauce. Feast your eyes, nose and utensils on me, as I have worked hard to become tender and juicy, with a tasty smoke infusion that is hypnotic.
The sensation of utter delight that I bring to your appetite is an experience in itself. Once you’ve had me, you won’t be able to get me off your mind. If you’re worried about how my “bad boy” reputation may stick to you, no need. Despite common misperceptions, I am a lean protein and you can enjoy me for less than 300 calories. Some are embarrassed at my name, and simply point to it on the menu. But this is no time to be shy. Say my name like you mean it and do me proud!
What I’ve heard from my audience: “What exactly is in this secret sauce?”
My answer: “I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you.”
Who am I? Big Ass Pork Plate (also available as a Half Ass, per request)
