The pulled pork sandwich has a rich history rooted in Southern barbecue traditions. Originating in the Southern United States, this iconic dish features slow-cooked, tender pork shoulder, typically seasoned with a flavorful dry rub or tangy barbecue sauce. The meat is then "pulled" or shredded and piled high on a soft, buttery bun. Renowned pitmasters like Rodney Scott and Aaron Franklin have elevated the art of smoking and roasting pork, influencing the modern interpretation of this classic sandwich. Today, some of the best versions of this dish can be found in barbecue joints across the South, particularly in regions like North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. The key to a perfect pulled pork sandwich lies in the succulent, well-seasoned meat and the balance of smoky, sweet, and tangy flavors. Whether it's served with coleslaw, pickles, or a side of mac and cheese, this beloved dish continues to be a staple of Southern cuisine.
