BBQ sauce

[Shavely Manden]

I'm an Alabama boy by birth, so I like mine bright, tangy, and red. White sauce (mayonnaise + vinegar + salt & pepper) is good too, mainly on chicken. The smoky Appalachian sauce they where I live now is really weirding me out.

How do y'all take your BBQ sauce?

BBQ sauce here is thin and red and sweet. It goes on smoked pork shoulders. Think about Tabasco, ketchup, sugar.

I grew up in North Carolina, so I'm a vinegar guy. (Along with Texas Pete...)

These guys should explain it... they're from NC also.

Dry rubs only for me...

Depends on the cut and definitely depends on the cook. If it tastes good I take it that way. I love dry rub Memphis style ribs... but I ain't gonna say no to St. Louis style either. Give me a nice tomato based sauce for my briskett, but if it's juicy I can take it dry. I am not a huge fan of mustard sauces, but again.... broken record time.... if it is done well I'll take it.

I just don't play favorites, although I will seldom put any sauce on to cook into the meat. Like with my pork butt, day 1 might be pulled pork sandwiches with a nice sauce and day 2 might be sliced for tacos.

Thanks! Is white sauce really that mysterious? I know it's a central-to-south Alabama thing, but it's not like we're shy about it.

In the sense that it is a mystery to many that have not grown up in or have been exposed to a BBQ culture.

Lets hope your post further de-mystifies it!

For the brisket I love spicy, vinegary, tomato based sauces (think Stubbs Original Spicy)
For the butt I love Eastern North Carolina vinegar sauce, had to beat it!
