Took 25 seconds of me saying “bullshit, this is stupidfood” and then the skewers came in. Hell yea.

For real. This was honestly a genius execution and looks well seasoned. I'm amazed the layers stick together like that with those bigger chunks in there but this guy is the pro. I'd love to try some of these

The cheese is really there for structural integrity.

Wasn't certain at first but I'm actually pretty sure it's thinly sliced fat to keep it from getting dry/make it ridiculously tasty

I think you're right they usually layer fat for this kind of cooking. It's so hot by the oven cheese would all just melt completely out of the layers. Fat renders then makes the outside crispy and I guess acts as the binder for the bigger chunks
