The novelty of herbed / brined Cebu lechon has worn off. Lechon is a very generic dish. In any place you have good and bad lechon. Having said that, the best home-cooked lechon I've tasted were in our Dad's hometown in Pangasinan, and a place in Guihulngan Negros Oriental. The formula is the same: use native pigs, not too big (less than 50 kg live), salt or brine the cavity (in Ilocos they just rub in a little red bagoong), low heat and slow cook, wipe off excess oil, maintain low heat but don't ever let the coals die out.
