Let's begin.

Start with 4lbs of pork belly (~$10/lb).

Put on grill to add some charred edges.

Then finish cooking off in oven for additional 10mins.

Nomnomnom, look at that fat to meat ratio.

Get some fresh baguettes from Lee's and give them a light toast.

Cut in half and put mayo spread on both sides.

Assemble.
