Pulled pork sandwich · Birmingham
The Alabama pulled pork sandwich is slow-smoked pork shoulder pulled by hand, piled on a soft white bun with slaw and either red sauce or Alabama white sauce.
Pulled pork sandwiches anchor Alabama barbecue alongside the white-sauce smoked chicken, with the regional preference for hickory-smoked Boston butt pulled by hand rather than chopped. Saw's BBQ in Homewood opened in 2009 and brought the canonical Birmingham version to the metro; the Mike Wilson signature is pulled pork on a soft bun with mayonnaise-based white slaw. Dreamland in Tuscaloosa (day-trip) runs the dry-rub ribs version of the same Alabama tradition.
