Next time catch the Zoo and Overton Park. I live two blocks from the Zoo. Every evening we can hear the lions roaring from our back patio.

The Original BBQ Nachos w/ Real Memphis BBQ-pulled Pork Shoulder

Ingredients 2 pounds Hog Wild Style Flour Tortilla Chips, recipe follows, or corn tortilla chips 2 pounds Pulled Pork Shoulder, recipe follows 1 pint BBQ sauce (recommended: Hog Wild Killa Wet Sauce) 1 quart Nacho Cheese/Queso Sauce, recipe follows 3 tablespoons your favorite dry rub (recommended: Hog Wild Special Dry Sauce)

Hog Wild Style Flour Tortilla Chips: 1 gallon vegetable or canola oil 2 tablespoons kosher salt 2 tablespoons your favorite dry rub (recommended: Hog Wild Special Dry Sauce) 24 (10-inch) flour tortillas

Real Memphis BBQ-pulled Pork Shoulder (Boston butt): One 8-pound Boston butt pork roast 16 ounces your favorite wash (recommended: Hog Wild Hog Wash) 5 ounces your favorite dry rub (recommended: Hog Wild Special Dry Sauce)

Nacho Cheese/Queso Sauce: 1 pound pasteurized cheese (recommended: Velveeta) 8 ounces shredded Cheddar 8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese One 14-ounce can tomatoes with green chilies (recommended: Ro-tel) 1 tomato, diced 1/2 jalapeno pepper, finely diced 1/2 red onion, finely diced 2 green onions, chopped 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon ancho or chipotle (or other) ground chile pepper Kosher salt

ASSEMBLY Arrange chips on a large serving platter. Cover with BBQ Pork Shoulder. Top with BBQ sauce and then smother with the Nacho Cheese/Queso Sauce. Sprinkle generously with rub and then serve immediately.

Hog Wild Style Flour Tortilla Chips: Place oil in a deep fryer or in a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven. Heat oil to 325 deg. Meanwhile, combine salt and dry rub in a small bowl. Cut tortillas into chip-sized triangles. When oil is 325 degrees F, carefully add cut tortillas and deep fry for about 3 minutes, turning at least once until a light golden brown. Remove chips from oil and dust with salt-dry rub mixture.

Real Memphis BBQ-pulled Pork Shoulder (Boston butt): Preheat a charcoal grill for indirect cooking to 225 to 250 deg. Inject the meat with wash. Alternatively, you can also marinate the pork in Hog Wash overnight in the refrigerator. Season pork generously with dry rub. Place meat on grill and cook until the internal temperature of the meat is consistently 180 degrees F for at least 1 hour; it will take about 8 hours to reach 180 degrees internally. Remove meat from grill and let rest for at least 15 min. Pull the meat with your hands and remove any fat or gristle. Gently sprinkle pulled meat with dry rub and then toss like a salad.

Nacho Cheese/Queso Sauce: Combine all ingredients in a double boiler and stir until melted. Season with salt, to taste.

Nobody asked me, but . . . it is my impression Memphis is one of the most corrupt cities in the U.S. The city government is controlled by people who desecrate grave sites.

Last time I stayed overnight, the hotel had concertina wire on top of the chain-link fence surrounding the parking lot.

For anyone wanting to visit Memphis, local government can use the tax revenue. Some seasons back the hotel bed tax was reported to be a healthy 15.95 percent.

Liz pardon me, didn’t mean to come across so obtuse!
I’m always in silly/satire mode at Freep and would never want to disrupt the positive spirit here!
