The weeks-old meat and cheese hanging from the grease pole in the Italian Market has been cut down

Tommy Amorim, a multi-unit cheese specialist at Di Bruno Bros., climbed atop a crane Thursday to rescue stranded meat and cheese left behind from last month's grease pole climbing competition. The aging prizes went right in the garbage.Dan Cosgrove, a driver with Sunbelt Rentals, navigated his crane through the Italian Market traffic Thursday morning, grinding to a halt at the famous grease pole.

“Finally,” sighed Jibri Lee, the piazza porter, who has been worried for weeks that unsuspecting customers would be hit with melting cheese or dripping meat. “Or heaven forbid, both,” he said. “The ball has been passed long enough, and here I am holding it,” he said, climbing aboard the lift. Even for a cheesemonger, this was a first.

After four weeks of living in the shadow of these increasingly disgusting Italian delectables, snipping down the stranded prizes was done in minutes. Still, like with any passing oddity in our city, the operation drew a small crowd — curious passersby who made sure to preserve the moment on their phone cameras.
