Author Notes
Events in Paris made me want to create a dish that celebrated solidarity between our two countries. What could be more French than Creme Brulee? What could be more American than pulled pork barbecue? To combine the two made me feel part of a march I could not be present for. Je suis Charlie. —Peter Hartjens
