When you’re deciding what to serve with pulled pork sandwiches, you really try to think of what flavors work best together, what textures complement each other, and what will look best on the plate next to the pile of tender, juicy meat dripping in sweet, tangy, and maybe even spicy barbecue sauce. You can serve almost anything as a side with a sandwich, but there’s something special about pulled pork. Luckily, pulled pork sandwiches come in many varieties; just about every region has its own special way of doing things- Texas, California, the Carolinas.
The thing about having so many different styles of a pulled pork sandwich is that it allows for multiple ways to dress it up, countless side options, and endless culinary diversity. So what are you waiting for?
