We love telling dad jokes. Sometimes, he even laughs. Haha, aren’t dad jokes the best? We can thank our old man for that one and also for this delicious hunk of Dad’s Pulled Pork we’re about to stuff our faces with. Two big and fluffy buns cradle the juicy, tender, perfectly seasoned, and perfectly roasted pork our papa has perfected. He smothers it was the tangiest, sweetest barbeque sauce we’ve ever tasted so we can pinky promise you’re in for a real sweet and savory treat. Dad’s Pulled Pork will make you smile and feel all warm inside, just like our favorite guy does!
