Cupcakes are usually catered to those with a sweet tooth but the BBQ Pulled Pork Cupcake is ideal for those whose taste buds are waiting for something savory and scrumptious.
The treat is made with cheddar scallion biscuit batter and stuffed with smoked pork. It comes in the form of a cupcake and one bite into this barbecue goodness will send the taste buds flying. The lucky customers of Bourbon Steak Lounge in Washington, D.C, used to request the BBQ Pulled Pork Cupcake as an off-menu item but it soon found its way onto the regular menu after numerous requests for this popular item became out of control.
The highly secretive ingredients are guarded and won't be found elsewhere; if you're a big fan of pulled pork, this 20-minute wait will definitely be worth it.
