If you are like me, you love to eat slow, pit cooked meat (pork, beef, bison, chicken, and just about anything else). Actually, I’m partial to Kalua Pork, named not for the beverage, but rather for the method of cooking: Kalua Pork translates as “to cook in an underground oven”. Now, I don’t have an underground over, but I have a heavy crock pot. All you need is about 5lbs of pork butt or a picnic cut, a table spoon of liquid smoke and a table spoon and a half of salt. Drop it into your pot (don’t add water). Turn it on high. Wait 5 or 6 hours. Throw in about 1/4 cabbage sliced. Cook another half hour, and it will be done: I guarantte you will have some fantastic Kalua Pork. Easy and nutritious.
But, if you don’t feel like cooking your own pork and you are near Port Aransas, Tx, then drop by the Rusty Jeep Hickory Pit. And, of course, there’s even a rusty jeep in the parking lot (which no doubt ran until it was parked? lol). Josh’s sister sent him some pics, seen below, and I found a few additional pics on the net (thanks Josh).
The sign below is attached to the front grille of the jeep.
