GOING OUT OF BUSINESS… UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT…. 
NEW LOWER PRICES….HOW ABOUT WE GOT RID OF OUR LAST 
COOK AND HIRED A NEW ONE! WE LOWERED OUR BEER 
PRICES WE FOUND THAT NO ONE WANTED A $7 BEER.

PULLED PORK 
SLIDERS 

 Here are Super Facts about Sundays Super Bowl 
Game…

 ‘It has been said, after all, that Americans eat 
more than 1.2 billion chicken wings, 11 million 
slices of Domino’s pizza, 11.2 million potato 
chips, 8.2 million pounds of tortilla chips, and all 
sorts of other delicious but caloric fare, especially 
when their teams lose.’ 

 Um, 11.2 million potato chips? or is that 11.2 
million pounds of potato chips? That’s still just a 
pound of potato chips for every 30 Americans - 
not that impressive. 1.2 billion chicken wings, on 
the other hand - that’s 4 for every American, seems 
like a lot to me. There are only 2 drumbsticks per 
chicken so that is almost 600 million chickens. 
That’s impossible!! Or is it?

 But Hold on I have more, now these are 
mind-boggling.

 We know a lot of beer will be consumed, but 
how much? So much that we would need five 
Rose Bowl Stadiums (not to mention bathrooms) 
to hold all the beer. My research tells me 325 
million gallons of beer. Ninety-nine bottles of 
beer on the wall? How about 30 million bottles 
at 12 oz! Speaking of Pizza , the 11 million pizza 
slices would cover the Rose Bowl 22000 times! For 
me I’ll go with Village Pizzeria in Sierra Madre.

 Get them early, that is buy your avocados early 
because we will go through 80 million avocados 
to make all sorts of Guacamole. I like mine spicy 
and chunky!

 No matter what you decide to eat or drink be 
responsible, Super Bowl Sunday is also in the top 
five of DUI arrests.

 Stomach ache? You better believe it, anti-acid 
refilef pills sales double the following Monday.

Prediction

Patriots 28 Seahawks 17. You read is here first.

TABLE FOR TWO by Peter Dills

thechefknows@yahoo.com

INGREDIENTS

2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced 

4 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced 

1 cup chicken stock 

1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar 

1 tablespoon chili powder 

1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more as needed 

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

1 (4-1/2- to 5-pound) boneless or bone-in pork shoulder (also known as pork butt), twine or netting 
removed 

2 cups barbecue sauce

DIRECTIONS

1. Place the onions and garlic in an even layer in the slow cooker and pour in the stock or broth. 
Combine the sugar, chili powder, measured salt, cumin, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Pat the pork 
dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork and place the meat on top of the onions 
and garlic. Cover and cook until the pork is fork tender, about 6 to 8 hours on high or 8 to 10 hours on 
low.

2. Turn off the slow cooker and remove the pork to a cutting board. Set a fine-mesh strainer over 
a medium heatproof bowl. Pour the onion mixture from the slow cooker through the strainer and 
return the solids to the slow cooker. Set the strained liquid aside.

3. If the pork has a bone, remove and discard it. Using 2 forks, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces, 
discarding any large pieces of fat. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker, add the barbecue 
sauce, and mix to combine. Taste and season with salt as needed.

Serve with Hamburger Buns or Hawaiian Slider Rolls.
