About

Southern Yank Pork seeks a middle ground between Northern and Southern cuisine using pulled pork as the bridge. Honestly, it's a pretty delicious bridge! Slow-cooked in barbeque sauce with notes of smoky sweetness and heat, the savory pork is tender and infused with tons of flavor. Each scoop of Southern Yank Pork is ready for piling high on rolls, served with salad, or just eaten with a fork!
