not a sauce but alot of times i will use grilled vadalia onions on pulled pork with melted cheese.
 
I make a "Central NC style" sauce (hybrid between Eastern NC sauce and Lexington dip with a strong vinegar twang) that I mix into the pulled pork, then top the sammie with a thick slice of ripe tomato (NO SLAW!).
 
I use slaw sometimes, other times not. My slaw is closer to a Japanese Tsukemono, that is to day, sugar and vinegar cured and slightly fermented. No mayo.

I use all manner of sauces from a real North Carolina vinegar based version, to a very California fruit based sauce. Pork is so versatile.
 
Yep. I always slaw my sandwiches. No mayo in mine either, and I prefer to actually make my slaw a couple days in advance if possible. I do add oil though. How do you ferment yours, Bob? I find that interesting.
 
I wish I could get some of the sauce that I grew up with. It was at Gibson's BBQ on South Memorial Parkway in Huntsville, Alabama in the 60's. I remember it as a thin vinegar sauce with a little heat.
