Frequently Asked Questions
How much pulled pork per person for sandwiches?
Plan for 1/3 pound of cooked pulled pork per person for sandwiches. Remember to buy 1.5x the raw weight since pork shrinks when cooked.
Should coleslaw go on the sandwich?
Offering both options is best! Some people love slaw on their pulled pork sandwich, others prefer it on the side. Serve slaw in a separate bowl.
