Tennessee Pulled Pork Sandwich · Nashville
Slow-smoked pork shoulder pulled into tender shreds, piled on a soft white bun with creamy slaw and a thin Tennessee-style tomato-vinegar sauce.
Tennessee whole-hog and pulled pork barbecue traces to West Tennessee's pit traditions, codified in Memphis by the 1920s and adopted in Nashville's BBQ joints from the 1950s. Pat Martin opened Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint in Nolensville in 2006 and grew it into the Nashville flagship; Peg Leg Porker (Carey Bringle) and Edley's Bar-B-Que round out the city's BBQ trinity.
