4 Unique Ways To Eat Pulled Pork At Barbecue Restaurants

Posted on: 26 July 2021

A staple at many barbecue restaurants is pulled pork. The meat soaks up barbecue sauces and includes a lot of layers of flavor. When you eat pulled pork, the meat is typically served on a sandwich or on its own. When you order pulled pork at BBQ restaurants, consider different ways to enjoy the meat.

Learn about some of your options and try some out the next time you dine at a barbecue restaurant. Some restaurant menus may feature some of these meals exactly, while others feature the elements you can combine together to create your own dining option.

1. Pulled Pork Baked Potato

Replace bacon bits with pulled pork on a baked potato to create an all-in-one meal option. If a pulled pork baked potato is your main entree, then consider ordering two baked potatoes to really fill you up. The potatoes and pork mix well together, especially when excess barbecue sauce soaks into the bites of soft potato.

The pork also goes well with traditional baked potato toppings like cheese and sour cream. If you order the pulled pork on the side, you can choose the portion of the meat you want to mix on top of the potato. You could also use a fork to break up the potato more and create easier bites that include all the ingredients.

2. Pulled Pork Salad

Add some salty flavors to a fresh salad with pulled pork. A southwest-style salad may include lettuce, corn, and other vegetables. The sauce on the pulled pork may not provide enough dressing to coat the salad so a light layer of blue cheese or ranch dressing could be the best option for the salad.

The pulled pork mixes well with fresh ingredients like cucumbers, broccoli, and onion. Extra toppings like croutons or bacon bits will add some crunch to a salad as well.

3. Pulled Pork Nachos

Ground beef and chicken are common nacho toppers, but pulled pork offers another nacho option. The shreds of meat can be distributed over the chips well and the pulled pork goes great with liquid forms of cheese. Other toppings like beans and peppers work well with the pulled pork.

You may choose to have the pulled pork served on the side so the chips do not become too soggy. In this case, add extra meat as you go.

4. Pulled Pork Mac & Cheese

The nacho cheese is not the only cheesy option for pulled pork. Many barbecue restaurants offer a pulled pork mac and cheese. The two foods combine to enrich the flavors, provide a nice spicy aftertaste, and bites go down smoothly. The meal is an ideal side dish for everyone to share, but can also be your main dinner option.

Try out the various ways to enjoy pulled pork and you could find a new favorite barbecue meal the next time you dine at barbecue restaurants.
