A Recipe For Success

"You ordered what?"

For the record, this is how you make the "BBQ Nachos" at Five County Stadium in Zebulon, NC, home of the Carolina Mudcats, the Single-A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians:


Step One: Empty half a bag of Utz-brand tortilla chips (the round ones) into the paper container for the nachos.
Step Two: Slam an amount of Eastern NC-style pulled pork - the real stuff, not the crap Papa John's is bragging about putting on his manhole covers disguised as pizzas - equal in mass to a small child onto the chips.
Step Three: Drown the entire thing in cheese, or something like cheese.
Step Four: Serve to unsuspecting customers who have no idea what they've gotten themselves into by ordering this beast.

I regret nothing. But I, and my wife (the estimable Dr. Mrs. The Sportsthodoxy) and my father will probably not be hungry again the rest of the week.

Oh, and the ballgame was pretty good, too.
