The history of the barbecue pulled pork sandwich dates back to the Southern United States, where pitmasters slow-cooked pork over hickory or oak wood, then shredded and mixed it with a tangy, smoky barbecue sauce. This iconic dish has roots in regions like North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas, each with its own unique spin on the recipe. Chefs like Rodney Scott, known for his whole hog barbecue in South Carolina, have elevated the art of making this sandwich. Today, some of the best versions of this dish can be found in renowned barbecue joints across the South. The key to a perfect pulled pork sandwich lies in the slow-cooking process and the balance of flavors in the barbecue sauce. Whether it's served on a soft bun with coleslaw or pickles, or alongside classic sides like mac and cheese and baked beans, this dish continues to be a beloved staple in Southern cuisine.
