This pulled pork sammich is drenched in that batch of vinegar based bbq sauce I made last week. It’s growing on me. I made a quick side of cheesy potatoes with that cheese sauce made with sodium citrate to make the cheddar melty. I par boiled the sliced potatoes before draining them and covering the slices with the sauce. They baked at 400℉ with buttered panko crumbs on top until browned and bubbly.

A double cheese smash burger – pickles, onion, mustard. These are so good!
