Meal No. 3841: Cuban Lechon Asado

Last Thursday involved an extra special treat: an overnight visit from former student Byron Hoover, Wake Forest University Class of 2003, who came for dinner and a great evening of hanging out and talking family and education and writing and life. He has always been impressive and is one of the finest teachers I know, but he is also a delightful conversationalist, a deep thinker, and pretty darned funny as well. I am grateful for these school ties that endure. And he was willing to eat supper that night: Cuban Lechón Asado, piled onto brioche buns, smeared with creamy cilantro lime sauce, topped with Mexican street taco BBQ sauce, and accompanied by the latest batch of Mexican coleslaw. We had our fill of that goodness and retired to the old men's chairs for our free-ranging convo.
