I was lied to... recipe for disaster!

FM Former Member
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!

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.

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.

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. Big Grin [/qb]
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 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....
FM Former Member
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.

Only thing, Bodacious, I don't know how long a person can talk about cheesesteaks ...We never seem to run out of things on this Forum.
I swear, I had a dream about cheesesteaks last night. Oh well, I will have a choice rib roast,formerly know as Prime rib, with friends today.Maybe I can take a piece of cheese with me and melt it over the top.

Kathy,

No hot meat with cheese on it?

Besides cheesesteaks what about cheese burgers, sausage patties with cheese, hotdogs with cheese, ham & cheese. What about chicken, bacon, & swiss sammiches, chicken & viel parmisian, fahitas (bad spelling), pizza steak subs........The list goes on and on girl! lol

But the line does get drawn at prime rib, new york strips, and t-bones, anything over $6.99/ lb. is a good rule of thumb. lol. There's some things not even this MidWest hick won't put cheese on!

well,Smokin', actually I AM from outside Philly too. I have just been in Oklahoma a long long time. And GeiyserQ is on the ball about those meat and cheese combinations.How coudl I forget about a cheeseburger?? I also say a pizza steak sub is a cheese steak gone extreme.
The rib roast was Well Done, and sliced thick..So a piece of cheese would not have hurt it one bit.Since those who did the cooking were friends I didnt criticize. I know some of you on here would find that hard to believe LOL.

The worst pulled pork I've had was at some Q Joint near Grand Lake. On the left just before you get into Grove coming from I-44. It was very stringy and dry. I HONESTLY did not recognize it as pulled pork. I had to ask the waitress to identify it for me. Needless to say I have not been back.

Depends on the cheese, too. A good bleu cheese with a good steak, mmmm....
