UNIMAGINABLE PORK STACK

THIS IS NOT A SANDWICH.
IT'S A SITUATION.

Pulled pork. Bacon. Slaw. More pork. More bacon. A bun doing structural engineering it was never designed for.

The Unimaginable Pork Stack started with a simple question: how much pork can one sandwich reasonably support?

We stopped caring about “reasonably.”

WHAT YOU'RE BUILDING

A towering stack of smoky pulled pork, crisp bacon, crunchy strawberry slaw, and a glossy bun. Sweet, smoky, salty, crunchy, messy. Exactly as intended.

THE PARTS

  • Pulled pork
  • Thick-cut bacon
  • Strawberry slaw
  • Toasted brioche bun
  • BBQ sauce

BUILD THE STACK

  • Toast the bun. Give it enough structure to survive what you’re about to do to it.
  • Pile on the pulled pork. This is not the moment for restraint.
  • Add the bacon. Keep it crisp so the stack gets some crunch.
  • Add the strawberry slaw. Let the cold, sweet-tart slaw cut through all that rich pork.
  • Sauce it. Enough BBQ sauce to pull everything together, not enough to turn the bun into a sponge.
  • Crown it with the top bun. Admire your engineering problem.
  • Eat it while it’s hot. Napkins are not optional.

WHY STRAWBERRY SLAW?

Because this thing desperately needs something bright.

The strawberry slaw brings cold crunch, sweetness, and a little acidity to a stack that’s otherwise charging headfirst into pork, bacon, smoke, and sauce. It doesn’t fight the meat. It keeps you wanting another bite.

MAKE THE STRAWBERRY SLAW

  • Shredded cabbage
  • Fresh strawberries, chopped
  • Sugar
  • Vinegar
  • Celery seed
  • Pinch of salt

 

Toss the cabbage and strawberries together. Add just enough sugar and vinegar to get that sweet-tart balance going, then hit it with celery seed and a pinch of salt. Let it sit cold for a bit before building the stack so the flavors have time to get acquainted.

DON'T OVERTHINK IT

This isn’t precision engineering, despite what the bun may think. Use the pulled pork you like. Make the bacon as crisp as you like it. Adjust the slaw until it tastes right to you. The goal isn’t to reproduce a photograph. The goal is to build something you’re genuinely excited to eat.

THE VERDICT

Ridiculous? Absolutely.

Worth it? Also absolutely.

If it stays upright long enough for the first bite, you’ve already won. 😂
