Southern Zen Barbecue

I've been following Southern Zen for awhile ever since I heard they were doing pop ups at the Lab Bar and Grill. They have recently been added to the Secret Trail Brewing Company's food pop up rotations on Monday and Tuesday afternoons.

I wanted to try all the meats but settled with the pulled pork sandwich topped with pig candy coleslaw and a side of German potato salad.
+ The sandwich's flavor was great. The pulled pork, coleslaw, and house made bbq sauce married perfectly. I struggled for a bit to find the bits of "pig candy" but when you do, it just adds another layer of texture and porkiness to the sandwich.
+ The German potato salad was not what I expected. Instead of mayonnaise, it's mixed with vinegar making it a welcomed, acidic accompaniment to the sandwich.
- They were a bit slow to start off. I arrived around 4; they needed another 30 minutes.
- I don't think they are fully equipped to handle the weather outside for a food stand as my pulled pork could've been warmer.

I'm rooting for y'all! All in all the food was delicious, the issues are minor and could be improved over time.

Great pulled pork, the chicken wings were awesome, the corn casserole was delicious.the coleslaw was very tasty. I would recommend searching this place out and trying them.
