Chef Bert Agor, Jr. says:
* This recipe works equally well with either beef short ribs or pork butt. * For extra crunch, add home made pickles. To make pickles, mix 1 cucumber cut into 1/4" slices, 2 cups white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dill and sea salt and fresh pepper to taste. Set aside for 10 minutes or longer to pickle. * Could also make these Po Boys as sliders, using KING'S HAWAIIAN Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls.
