This is the heart of the BBQ experience in the South. The ribs are fine in Memphis, the roast is fine in Dallas, but the pulled pork in places such as Big Bob Gibson's in Decatur, AL, are the essence of the BBQ experience. Pulled pork simply means that you do not serve the pork as slabs of meat: You chop the meat up so that it can savor every delectable bite of the BBQ sauce, which (obviously) separates one place from another.

Sorry -- I'm hungry now and must . . . .

Just as an FYI - pulled pork is closer to being shredded than it is to being chopped. The pork is marinated and literally pulled from the bone with a scraping action (you can do it at home with a fork), creating long tendrils of meat. This is often done with beef or chicken for traditional burritos. It keeps the meat exceptionally juicy (not to mention completely infused with barbecue sauce or whatever other spicy stuff you like) and is wonderful in a sandwich.

In the Detroit area, pulled pork is the specialty at Memphis Smoke in Royal Oak.
