I guess pulled pork would be a bit cheaper than burnt ends which I think is closer to KC BBQ than pulled pork.  But, I am sure when I get to KC next time I will probably have some of both, some ribs, and some sausage if they have them.

Have fun and let us know what the final menu is and how the teens (and adults) enjoyed your creativity again.

Poor man's burnt ends....use a chuck roast cut into small cubes

I had thought about that, but back here in Eastern PA I think you can get a brisket cheaper per pound than a chuck roast.

Naw, pork rules in KC, brisket is for Texas!

Poutine without curd and brown gravy! Sacré Bleu!

I get your point, maybe a more accurate name would be "Faux Poutine"!

Cheese curds go with most everything and could be added very easily. I don't know how readily available they are in our area, I will need to price it out. I suppose Mozzarella balls could be an alternative.

I wasn't sure about the brown gravy going with pork, but it may be okay with the cheesesteak mixture. Since this is all build your own, I can put the gravy out as an option.

Here in CT Chuck Roast $4.99lb, Beef Brisket $8.99 lb.

The food was a huge hit. The menu ended up being: French Fries, KC BBQ pulled pork,  Gary's Quick Steak, onions and green peppers, cheese sauce, brown gravy, and mozzarella cheese as a substitute for cheese curds.

Since I only seem to be able to post two pictures at a time, here are a couple more. I didn't have time to get any pictures of the kids creations, but they had a lot of fun putting together some interesting combos!

Did anyone else do something for the game?

A quick follow up. The only things left over were some peppers and onions, the brown gravy, and about a half pound of steak. I ended up putting everything in the crockpot with the gravy and it made a great soup!
