Memphis Pulled Pork Sandwich

Photo coming soon
In Memphis the coleslaw goes inside the sandwich, piled right on top of the pork.
Smoked pork shoulder, pulled or chopped and sauced, on a bun topped with coleslaw, sold at barbecue counters across the city.
Why it's made this way: Pork shoulder sandwiches have been Memphis staples since the early 1900s; Leonard Heuberger, who opened Leonard's in 1922, is locally credited with the classic version.
