I love sandwiches, and I love pork. It would follow, then, that I also love pork sandwiches. It is that affinity that inspired the following guide—which is, obviously, subject to change with the introduction of new sandwiches. Yes, the scoring is a little skewed-- it's what happens when there's not really a "bad" sandwich in the bunch.
| Mobile Vendor | Sandwich | Rating (1-10) | Comments |
| Untamed Cart | Porketta w/ house-pickled onions, arugula and horseradish/Dijon mayo on ciabatta | 11 | This has to be my favorite sandwich found on the streets of Minneapolis. Served from a modest cart, this sandwich is truly spectacular. |
| Get Sauced | Kalbi pork w/ chinese cabbage slaw, and wasabi mayo on toasted bun | 10 | Asian-style pulled pork sandwich from the folks who brought us the amazing apple slaw-topped, award winning sauce-slathered BBQ pork sandwich pictured above. This sandwich is another winner. |
| Dandelion Kitchen | Porchetta w/ rosemary and orange zest, ancho-chili aioli and purple cabbage kraut on a bun | 10 | There should be no doubt that the engineers of one of the most amazing roast chicken sandwiches I’ve had would be able to pull off a dazzling porchetta. |
| Dandelion Kitchen | Smashed pork (beer and lemon-grass braised) w/ house-made tomatillo salsa, pickled onions and arugula on a bun | 10 | D.K. has long been one of my favorite Twin Cities mobile food vendors, because they’re so friendly and their sandwiches are so inspired. This one is no exception. |
| Get Sauced | Pulled pork w/ Minnesota State Fair blue ribbon-winning Sweat Heat BBQ sauce, Carolina granny apple slaw on a toasted roll *pictured* | 10 | New to the streets of Minneapolis, when the cold weather comes—I might miss you the most because we’ve had the least amount of time together. |
| Twisted Sister House of Hunger | BBQ Pulled Pork Slyders w/ cheddar cheese, apple wood smoked bacon | 10 | I’m 100% on board with pork sandwiches that include bacon as a garnish. |
| Fork In the Road Truck | BBQ Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese | 10 | Magic. Pure, unadulterated magic. |
| Twisted Sister House of Hunger | Bleu Pig Slyders w/ “buffalo” style sauce, bleu cheese crumbles and celery | 9 | They pull this off beautifully. |
| Hola Arepa | Pulled Pork Arepa w/ black beans, cotija cheese and special sauce | 8 | Adding one of their fresh salsas will bring this sandwich up to a 9, but I feel like their pulled chicken arepa is the biggest winner on their menu. |
