National Pulled Pork
 
WINTER PARK, Fla. – October is National Pork Month, and Sonny’s BBQ Pitmasters has declared Oct. 12 National Pulled Pork Day. As part of the day of pulled pork partying, Sonny’s will attempt to break the Guinness World Records title for the largest serving of pulled pork at its Winter Park location.

 

"By celebrating this Southern tradition, we hope to encourage people to spend time with family and friends while enjoying this time-honored BBQ technique," said Montana Smith, Sonny's BBQ public relations and events manager. "We invite BBQ fans across the country to celebrate with us on Oct. 12."

Joining in on the National Pulled Pork Day celebrations are the National Pork Board, the National Barbecue Association and the Gainesville, Orlando, Tallahassee and Winter Park Mayor's offices.

Sonny’s will also feature pulled pork specials all day at all 113 of its barbecue restaurants.

The National Pork Board’s “Pork Be inspired” website also features pulled pork recipes to celebrate the day, including Low and Slow Pulled Pork, Chili Rub Grilled Pulled Pork and Perfect Pulled Pork.
