Connoisseurs know that there's more to making a great BBQ sandwich than just piling some meat on a roll. Take pulled pork, for example. There are a number of ingredients that will seriously upgrade your pulled pork sandwich, from pickled red onions to a dash of apple cider vinegar. It makes sense that the professional pitmasters know all of these tricks, and more. That, however, brings up the question: Who's doing it the best?
The biggest divide here is in the cooking method: Carnitas are slow-cooked in pork fat, often in large copper pots, while pulled pork can be made using a variety of methods and tools.
