The Whole Hog is a small but bustling sandwich shop in San Diego that specializes in hearty gourmet sandwiches and most notably, the KC Pulled Pork Sandwich and the Carolina Pulled Pork Sandwich! There are many sandwiches to choose from at The Whole Hog, but let’s talk about their iconic KC and Carolina pulled pork sandwiches.
You may be wondering what the KC and Carolina are… well, simply put, the Carolina features their beloved mustard BBQ Sauce and the KC has a more classic BBQ flavor. There aren’t many famous pulled pork sandwiches in San Diego — this place has already risen to the top of the pack. It doesn’t stop there… some of The Whole Hog’s most popular bites are the Cubano (Aioli, Dijon, Pickles, Ham, Roasted Pork Shoulder, Swiss Cheese, pressed on the grill) and the Smoked Pork Belly Tacos (Avocado Crema, Pico de Gallo, Cotija, with Smoked Salsa). Their famous side dishes are gourmet and affordable too! For only $3 or $4, add Mac & Cheese, Sweet Potatoes w/ blue cheese, almonds, maple syrup, Collard Greens cooked w/ pork, Potato Salad made with pork, Coleslaw or Cornbread to your order!
The restaurant seats about 20, but The Whole Hog is the perfect stop for a “sandwich on the go” or “business lunch.” It’s also a great catering resource in San Diego. With affordable price points and delivery specials for catering, The Whole Hog proudly features St. Louis Cut Pork Ribs, dry rubbed and smoked with California red oak, served with Memphis or KC style BBQ sauce, as well as Beef Brisket, BBQ Chicken, and Pulled Pork.
