🔥 Why You'll Love Pulled Pork

Pulled pork is the crown jewel of American BBQ:

Pork shoulder slow-smoked for 10-16 hours until fork-tender
Deep smoke ring, dark bark crust, and moist, flavorful interior
Served on a sandwich with slaw, on nachos, or piled high on a plate
Regional sauces range from tangy Carolina vinegar to sweet Kansas City
Perfect paired with mac and cheese, coleslaw, baked beans, and cornbread

🔍 What to Look For

🌳 Real wood smoke (hickory, oak, apple) makes a huge difference
🍖 Look for a pink smoke ring just beneath the dark bark — a sign of proper smoking
🥫 Ask for sauce on the side so you can appreciate the pure meat flavor first
🥗 Fresh-made coleslaw provides essential contrast and crunch
🍞 A good brioche or potato bun soaks up the juices without falling apart
