| - It's hard to write a review that will do Ho Ho justice. Cooking meat this way is labor intensive, hot, and uncomfortable. On top of that, at five bucks for an overladen tray of pork, it's a low profit margin venture.
All this just means that you should go to Ho Ho. It's certainly not a health food binge, but neither is the pork nearly as greasy, gristly or flavorless as it often is at these places. I agree with Wayne that the rub was light, but that's the way I like it. The pig was good, the meat was fresh, and it was cooked so to the point of perfection that more flavor might have been superfluous.
It goes without saying that the staff is generous and friendly. Extra pieces of roast pork and fatback (maybe they thought my wife and I were hiding three or four children in our trunk?) and a complimentary bottle of water, which I accepted. Hey, we all make concessions against our environmental principles when the most delicious pig is involved.
