Not sure if this has been discussed before. When bbq restaurants serve pulled pork are they using the whole hog or the butts and or picnic hams?

Depends on the restaurant and region of the country. I bet it's between whole hog and butts.

Do you think you can tell taste difference between the different parts of the hog?Extra Large, Large, and Mini. Tucker, GA

Typically with whole hog you get the skin along with the meat which is crunchy bits along with the meat. The rubs are typically much more simple(salt, pepper, mop sauce). Also you can get different textures of meat from the various parts instead of just shoulder.

you want in on a little secret? Most of them reheat their pulled pork using Coke-a-Cola! You won't see bottles of it around, but those dark jugs of "moisture" are pure Coke.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

I reheated some this weekend with Dr. Pepper, based on some suggestions from this forum. It came out very tasty without the cola flavor provided great moisture

Thanks for the info. I may be providing some meat for a buddy to sell. I think I'll stick with what I know and do picnic hams.Extra Large, Large, and Mini. Tucker, GA

Slightly OT but I laugh every time I see the Subway ads with their new PP sandwich. It doesn't even look right."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike
