Just curious if there are any regional differences or just preferences at everyone's house. At most of our events, and most of the ones in our area/circle of friends/family, this is how we do it.
Pulled Pork is served "naked", and almost everyone puts it on a bun for a sandwich, though a few may just put a pile on a plate. Sauce is added afterwards, and probably half put cole slaw on the top of the pork. Sauce is usually red sweet sauce, some use the white Alabama sauce, some eat it plain.
Brisket is made on a sandwich by most as well, with some adding a little red sauce. Some will just have slices on a plate though.
Ribs are usually served cut into individual ribs, with a drizzle of sauce, more available if needed. Unless it is a smaller party where everyone gets a whole or half rack. I prefer St. Louis style, but will usually cook babybacks as that is what most are used to.
Chicken is usually spatchcocked at my house, sliced up and served in a pile, no whole pieces. Some will put it on a roll, some will plate. Our white sauce usually gets the most use on chicken.
Most sides around here are baked beans, homemade macaroni and cheese, potato or macaroni salad, cole slaw, and cornbread.
How does this compare with your house or locality?
