Why it works
Pimento cheese is the centerpiece and the reason the board works: sharp cheddar, mayo and pimento make a spread that carries smoke better than any plain cheese. Smoked Gouda and sharp white cheddar back it up.
Pulled pork, smoked sausage and salty country ham bring the barbecue, and peaches, watermelon, sweet pickles and jalapeños give the sweet, tangy and hot contrasts. Cornbread and biscuits replace the usual baguette.
Timeline
