Serve with vinegar cole slaw, bean salad and potato chips.   Low And Slow Pulled Pork Start with the right cut of meat. Most barbecue restaurants use whole pork shoulders, but they’re rarely available in grocery stores. If you find a whole shoulder, use it. Otherwise, we recommend a Boston butt, which is half of the shoulder, the other half being the picnic shoulder. The first nationally branded barbecue sauces were likely based on a Kansas City-style sauce like the one included here--thick, tomatoey, and sweet, with just a hint of hot.   Barbecued Pork Sandwiches A year-round favorite, barbecued pork is easy when cooked all day to tenderness in the slow cooker.   American Pork Barbecue This classic from the South is a favorite from coast to coast, though sauces served alongside vary widely from region to region.
