As I began this process, I took pictures at different steps from start to finish. When I started editing the photos, I decided raw meat is not appealing at all. So I'll spare the pics and just do the finished product. I think I could be a vegetarian, but my husband is a meat and potatoes kind of guy, and I do the cooking. I rarely eat pork, but I was watching Diners Drive-ins and Dives one night, and Guy Fieri convinced me to make a pulled pork sandwich. I could of went to Delano BBQ to get their pulled pork sandwich topped with coleslaw — it's quite fantastic — but I wanted to try it once at home. Eight hours later, it was full of flavor and very tender. Next time I'll make some coleslaw to go on top.

DIRECTIONS
Combine spice rub ingredients in a small bowl.
Rub pork shoulder with all of the spice mixture to coat. Place onions, 1/4 cup barbeque sauce, and broth in a 6- to 7-qt. slow cooker, stirring to combine; top with pork. Cover; cook until pork is fork-tender, on high-heat setting for 5-6 hours or low-heat setting for 7-8 hours.
Transfer pork to a platter along with onions. Discard remaining contents of slow cooker. Using two forks, shred pork. Return pork and onions to the slow cooker. Add remaining 1/2 cup barbeque sauce to slow cooker; toss pork to coat with sauce.
Serve pork on toasted rolls topped with lettuce, red onion, and 1–2 Tbsp. vinaigrette.

Your blog makes me hungry. :)
That's good! I'm glad it doesn't cause the opposite effect.
That sandwich looks tasty and easy to make. I think I will give it a try.
