I'm not a big fan of the white sauce but here in North AL people go crazy for it. It's funny if you go to BHham and ask for white sauce they have no clue what your talking about..

I have always wanted to try a good white BBQ sauce and I have heard rave reviews about how good Big Bob Gibson's sauce was so I finally found a bottle and gave it a try. It has won several awards and first place finishes so I figured it must be pretty good and I have been meaning to try a recipe that is suppose to be close to his recipe. Well I tried it on some chicken and it wasn't anything like I expected. My wife spit the chicken right back out and said the sauce was horrible. She described it as rancid Miracle Whip with Vinegar added. The more I tried it the more it stared to grow on me but it was nothing like I expected. So the question is did I just get a bad or old bottle that doesn't taste right or is that how it is suppose to taste? In all fairness my wife hates Miracle Whip and isn't a big fan of Vinegar. I thought the vinegar flavor was pretty overpowering as well and I love vinegar.

I actually know what both of you are referring.... UGH!.... too much!... too strong!
This is a perfect opportunity to share the following recipe that has been floating around North Alabama since when ever!
You really, really, really, really, really need to try it.... but with smoked chicken!
Oh! By the way did I say you must try it? It really is good!
1 cup Mayo
3T White vinegar
4T Lemon juice
2-3T Sugar
1T Black pepper
Mix well and use every time you do smoked chicken!
On a separate note for North Alabama Group members:
Last Friday several of us local grillers from another forum went to Big Bob's in Decatur. Two folk that are also part of a larger group that gathers every fall in South Carolina were passing through from South Carolina on their way to a larger gathering in New Orleans wanted to try Big Bob's.
Making a short story long: I normally go to the gathering in South Carolina and really enjoy the fellowship and learning experience.
We have had people come from Washington State, North Carolina, Ohio. Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida, Hawaii, Texas you get the idea.
Last week I discovered that KathrynN the leader for the Alabama group has been trying to put a get-together in North Alabama and I too would like to do the same.
If you are a people person as well as an outdoor cook... that may be enough reason for you to join me in pulling this off.
A local gathering would really be great for me! Nothing fancy, nothing complex, maybe grill at a local park for just an afternoon. A family thing would be a must for me!
Chime in if you have an interest and maybe I can then really get long winded.
