Today, pulled pork is more than just a dish. It symbolizes American barbecue culture. It's celebrated in countless BBQ joints and cookouts, where friends and family gather to savor this smoky, succulent delight.

The real magic happens in the pit, where pork shoulder or butt is smoked low and slow for hours, allowing the meat to become tender and infused with a smoky flavor. The tradition of using spice rubs and sauces to enhance the taste is another key part of pulled pork's history.
