(Olney, IL) – An area food truck is the winner of this year’s Illinois Pulled Pork Madness. The title of “Best Pulled Pork in 2021” went to “The Smokin’ Pig” food truck out of Olney. Owners Drew and Taryn Bunting started the operation in 2015. Drew says if it wasn’t for their strong fan base they wouldn’t have won.
Their signature sandwich is called the “Pork Everest”, which contains two pork chops, two helpings of pulled pork, and macaroni and cheese topped with pickles, onions, jalapenos, and barbeque sauce all layered on three buns. “The Smokin’ Pig” receives a trophy and $250 for winning the contest. The online contest is a promotion of the Illinois Pork Producers Association.
