Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Mix together the salt, pepper, and paprika; sprinkle all over the pork and rub inches
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a 24-inch-long sheet of heavy duty foil and double wrap the pork.
- Place the pork, skin side up, in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; roast until tender, about 4 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and carefully unwrap the top of the pork, revealing the skin. Increase the heat to 450 degrees and roast for 20 minutes more.
- Transfer the roast to a large bowl, along with any juices. Using two forks, shred the pork. Add the vinegars, sugar, and hot sauce; toss. Serve on the hamburger buns, topped with coleslaw (recipe follows), if using.
- For the coleslaw: In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegars, sugar, hot sauce, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper. Add the cabbage and toss. Let stand for 30 minutes, then toss and serve.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and other vegetables. This will help the coleslaw absorb the dressing better.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with a slicing blade. Just be careful not to over-process the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your coleslaw. This will add flavor, color, and texture to the dish.
- Be sure to taste the coleslaw before adding additional dressing. You may find that you don't need as much as you think.
- Serve the coleslaw chilled. This will help the flavors to meld and the dressing to thicken.

North Carolina coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give North Carolina coleslaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
