         Title: Hard Rock Cafe Pig Sandwich   
    Categories: Copycat, Pork, Sandwiches   
         Yield: 8 Sandwiches   
      
   MMMMM---------------------MARINATED CABBAGE--------------------------   
         2 tb White vinegar   
         1 tb Granulated sugar   
         4 c  Cabbage; thinly-sliced   
      
   MMMMM-------------------------SPICE RUB------------------------------   
         2 tb Kosher salt   
         2 ts Cracked black pepper   
         1 ts Paprika   
       1/2 ts Onion powder   
       1/2 ts Ground sage   
       1/2 ts Thyme   
       1/4 ts Cayenne   
      
   MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------   
        30 oz Tomato puree (2 cans)   
         1 c  White vinegar   
       3/4 c  Brown sugar   
         2 tb Vegetable oil   
       1/2 ts Onion powder   
       1/2 ts Liquid smoke (hickory)   
         1 cl Garlic; minced   
       1/4 ts Salt   
       1/4 ts Black pepper; coarse ground   
      
   MMMMM----------------------------PORK---------------------------------   
         4 c  Hickory smoking chips   
         3 lb Boneless pork loin roast;   
              - up to 4 lb   
              Vegetable oil   
         8    Kaiser rolls   
      
     Take a big honkin' bite out of one of these and you'll soon know why   
     it's the Hard Rock Cafe's most popular sandwich. According to the   
     menu the pork is hickory smoked for 10 hours. But since we're   
     impatient hungry people here, we'll cut that cooking time down to   
     under 4 hours using a covered grill and carefully arranged charcoal.   
     Just sprinkle wet hickory chips over the hot charcoal arranged around   
     the inside edge of a grill (such as a round Weber), and let the   
     smoking begin. You can certainly use an actual smoker if you've got   
     one, and go the full 10 hours with this puppy. But while you're still   
     waiting for your sandwiches, the rest of us will have already dragged   
     our full, round bellies over to the couch for a nap. By the way, make   
     your marinated cabbage a day ahead of time, if you have the foresight.   
      
     Make the marinated cabbage at least 1 day prior to building your   
     sandwiches. Like cole slaw, this garnish needs some time to develop   
     in the fridge. Combine the vinegar and sugar in a medium bowl. Add   
     the cabbage, stir, cover the bowl and store it in the refrigerator   
     until you are ready to make the sandwiches.   
      
     Put the wood chips in a bowl and cover with water. Let the wood soak   
     for at least 1 hour. Light the charcoal after it has been arranged   
     around the inside edge of your grill. You don't want coals directly   
     under your pork. When the coals are hot, drain the water from the   
     wood chips and sprinkle the chips over the top of the coals. You   
     should now have smoke.   
      
     Combine the spices for the rub in a small bowl and mix well.   
      
     Rub some vegetable oil over the surface of the pork roast. Sprinkle   
     the spices over the entire surface of the roast.   
      
     Place the roast in the center of your grill and put the lid on. Let   
     the pork cook for 3 to 4 hours or until the internal temperature of   
     the roast reaches 175 to 180?F.   
      
     As the pork cooks, make the sauce by combining the ingredients in a   
     medium saucepan over medium/low heat. Let the sauce simmer for 15 to   
     20 minutes, then cover and remove from heat. Set this aside until   
     your pork is ready.   
      
     When the pork is done, remove it from the grill and let it sit to   
     cool for 15 to 20 minutes or until you can handle it. Now you want to   
     tear the meat along the grain, making bite-size strips of shredded   
     pork.   
      
     Put the shredded pork into a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 2   
     cups of the sauce to the pan and stir. Keep the rest of the sauce for   
     later to serve on the side. Cook the pork for 15 minutes or until it   
     is heated through.   
      
     Grill the faces of the rolls and stack about 1 cup of pork onto the   
     bottom half of each roll. Add a rounded tablespoon of marinated   
     cabbage on top of the pork, add a tablespoon or so of extra sauce on   
     top of that, then cap off each sandwich with the top half of the   
     roll. Serve with clones for the Hard Rock's cole slaw and baked beans   
     on the side, if desired.
