Chow Slog Sells Pork

Posted by on Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 4:52 PM

Or does pork sell itself? In any event, a Slog tipper reports that mere hours after this post yesterday, the Broadway Market QFC was out of pork shoulder roast. [Of note in the comments, a particularly contemporary debate about how much shoulder roast pork one can eat without feeling guilty if one walks everywhere, recycles like a madperson, uses those terrible curly lightbulbs, &etc.]

Also: It's Mark Mitchell sends an update on the pork shoulder roast he's making right now. Take it away, time-lapse photography:

"Dry rubbed with brown sugar, paprika, garlic, and love, then refrigerated overnight."

"Seared and smelling like my favorite Chinese barbecue, the Kau Kau. That's encouraging." [Eds. note: Kau Kau: hell yes.]

"I'm gonna give it another 3 hours while the yams and onions get sweet and soft, I hope."

Slog HUNGRY!!!

Northgate QFC still has a bunch. Minus one. I'm researching cooking methods now.

Bellevue has a ton as well. I had the guy make some fresh cuts there cause they did not have but one out. I biked all the way to Seattle with 13lbs of hog ass on my back for NC pulled pork, pernil, and a standard roast.

I got some too. But they charged me $1.29/LBS! They must have been on to the Slog tip... and I must have been late. That made it $1.20 more than I expected. Anyway, my girlfriend and I did this: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Slow-Cooker-Carnitas/Detail.aspx (We doubled the spices, subtracted the cinnamon and bought an onion and cilantro for taco-truck style tacos. !!!) In about 2 hours I'll be pulling it apart...

@4 The $1.29 price was for the boneless. 99¢ a pound was bone-in. I might go back. I'm cheap like that.

Looks delicious, IMM, though I'm hesitant to eat anything you dry-rubbed your love on.

Harvard Market had plenty. And it rendered mighty fine carnitas tonight. And tomorrow night. And the next day, too.

Those terrible curly lightbulbs are on sale right now - like $2 for a $7 bulb at Fred Meyer. But where are the LED ones?
