OK, I went to one of those family resorts this weekend. Went to the buffet and I saw something that resembled pulled pork. So the server is behind the glass and says, yes, it is pulled, smoked, pork.... covered in Cheddar cheese! Ughhhh! But he's a big fat guy, like myself. You know the old addage, never trust a skinny cook?

Well, this guy is raving about this pulled pork. Says it is the best thing on the menu, and he prepared it himself and he loves it.

Note to self, poorly smoked pulled pork can NOT be rescued by smothering it in cheese!

Pulled Pork smothered with cheese, thats new to me. That was probably the sign on how poorly it tasted, but I probably would have tried it myself.

If trhe Family Resort was in the Philly area, I can't believe that even a Yankee would try covering meat with Cheese. The exception is a Cheesesteak!!! Drool..or a hot dog.Which I am not sure is usually Meat when you get it at a restaurant....Since I am a yankee from the Philly area I say this...

Bodacious,
That reminds me of the time I went to Erie Pa in my electrical travellin days. the first day on the job we went to a Restaurant for lunch. They had BBQ sandwiches for the daily special. It was a piece of pressed ham on a bun with Catalina dressing on it. Me and my partner left the restaurant, went back to the job & quit.! He said these yankees'don't know nuttin bout BBQ & we headed back closer to the Mason Dixon line.

One of my workers was just talking about a pulled pork/cheese sandwich he had at Famous Dave's. I almost fell out of my chair. I have yet to bring myself to try Famous Daves, let alone smuther pork in cheese.

Uhhhh, Kathy, ever hear of "Philly Cheese Steak." If I'm not mistaken that's meat covered with cheese and it is a specialty of Philly.

Oh yuck, just the picture of the coagulated cold yellow stuff the CALL cheese that comes in a can for restaurants...turn my stomach.

Hey Bodacious. Maybe you can take them some REAL pork and teach them a thing or two, like the error of their ways.

Tell them a PB covered in rub and a nice finishing sauce (like mine he says humbly) would work to convince them.

The so-called original Philly Cheese Steak, as served at Pat's uses Cheese Whiz. It's optional. Just go to the window and order one "wit" or "witout".

Lived in Philly a few years and really miss those things. Another one of those food items that just can't be duplicated anywhere else.

I would never smother a pan of pulled pork in velvita like cheese sauce, but I do like putting a cold piece of American cheese on a pork sammich with a little mayo.

Pat's.... blech! LOL

Kathy, sure we put cheese on meats. Just not pulled pork!

I dont' remember ever seeing cheese on hot meat,especially with any sauce on it.Except a Cheesesteak. Maybe it was just because where I grew up, on the Main Line, there were lots of people who don't mix meat and dairy together.And they don't eat pork at all. But I sure would love to have a Cheese steak right about now.

takteZ if you look at my original statement I say "except cheese steak'.That food is an exception to all rules for healthy food,low fat etc but is Paradise on a hoagie roll.But we ate them with white American cheese not cheese whiz.
Bodacious, what kind of cheese do you put on what kind of meat? Do you live in Jersey? smile,that's a joke....

Bodacious, are you a Geno's fan, or maybe Jim's or Abner's? Originally from S. Jersey, went to school in Philly and spent many late nights on Pat's/Geno's runs.

For everyone else, you can opt for a different cheese, such as provolone. The "wit" or "witout" refers to onions, i.e. with or without onions.

Agreed, an item that cannot be easily duplicated.

Merry Christmas all.

Well, I like Geno's better than any listed but THE BEST are made at a place called "Pudge's". I don't eat that cheese in a can stuff at all. All those places feature it, though they will use real cheese if you ask.

Or I would try Dalesandro's in the Roxboro area.

Here comes the blasphemy: I would rather eat a good cheesteak than BBQ.

I think I need to start a cheesesteak forum.

I would join the cheesesteak forum
