What Should I Experiment with Pork Butt?

garthb4903

Doing a high quality 4# pork butt tomorrow, I've done a bunch of methods, and have a high quality piece of meat from a local producer.  I want to "test" the quality of the meat, what do you recommend to do?

I don’t know how to test the quality of a pork butt as such, but look up David Chang’s bo ssam.  Not hard, and it’s different.

I'm with @caliking regarding "testing the quality" but if it is high quality I would cook like I do every other butt (unless going cuban) and see if I can tell any difference in taste or texture.  That said, mo-jo pork is another great variation from the "norm."  Here's a link:
