Interesting to me that you both admit they are complementary side
by side on a plate but don't care for both on a sandwich. Must
just be a regional thing. My mother never cooked this. First time
I ever had a bbq sandwich was from a tiny old restaurant near
Williamsburg. I just stopped in one night on the way to Virginia
Beach.

I bought a couple of their bbq sandwiches. In NC and Virginia bbq
sauce is the thin vinegar based. And they automatically topped
the sandwich with a good coleslaw. OMG! I immediately became a
fan. Those were food heaven to me. From then on, I always
stopped there anytime I drove by.

Back then it was a tiny Mom&Pop stand. Word got around and they
actually spread and now known here as the best Virginia has to
offer. I agree. Pierces BBQ. Mom and Pop are long dead but
their reputation of the best will probably last forever.

Anyway....my forgotten point is cole slaw on the side or on the
bun is just what you get used to. A bbq sandwich without cole
slaw would be plain, boring, blah to me. I always make my own and
that darn bun gets equal amounts of pulled pork with seasoning
and equal amount of a great coleslaw. Add a large pile of very
salty potato chips (on the side) and you have a meal for the
gods@!
