Chef Chris’ pulled pork is no joke but in this meal, he decided to pair it up with a side dish that could easily be the star in its own right. Chef makes a grilled corn salad inspired by the Mexican street corn he used to eat in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, with grilled corn, mayo, lime, Cojita cheese, jalapeño, and cilantro. Of course the pork also needs to be on point, and his pork shoulder is slow cooked for over 8 hours in apple juice and spices before being hand-pulled and mixed in with some of Chef’s house chipotle BBQ sauce. Chef highly recommends heating this meal in the microwave but notes the corn salad is equally delicious hot or cold!
