Anyone know what the white stuff is that Johnny Trigg puts on his ribs?

I like honey, brown sugar & butter when foiling ribs.... "Tiger Sauce" I have seen as the bottled stuff they sell as a "steak sauce" by the Heinz 57 kinda stuff and have also seen "Tiger Sauce" referred to as a mixture of Mayonaise & Horseradish, which is really fantastic with beef. But I don't think that is what you are referring to. Just an observation....
 
I've seen the Tiger Sauce several times at our local grocery stores but never even grabbed a bottle to see what it was, guess I'll pick one up and give it a try.
 
I did a rack of spare ribs "a la Trigg" last weekend and they turned out awesome. I grew up on Louisiana Hot Sauce, but had never had Tiger Sauce. I got a bottle for about $3 at the grocery store and now I am hooked. It is delicious. The stuff is made in New Orleans and is a mix of hot sauce, worchesteshire sauce, and vinegar.... plus a few extras I'm sure. Anyways Triggs method is to rub the ribs down then 3-2-1. When he foils he puts Parkay, brown sugar, honey, and Tiger Sauce on both sides. The ribs I cooked were delicious and I will be sticking to his method. 
 
My Foiling Juice was inspired by watching Mr Trigg. I use Butter and it works great...JJ

Foiling Juice

For each Rack of Ribs Combine:

1T Pork Rub, yours

1/2 Stick Butter

1/2C Cane Syrup... Dark Corn Syrup...or Honey

1/4C Apple Cider...or Juice

1T Molasses

Optional:

2T Vinegar, to make it Tangy

Simmer 5-10 minutes until syrupy consistency.

Allow to cool for 5 minutes, pour over foiled Ribs and

run your 2 hour phase of 3-2-1. For the last phase return

the ribs to the smoker BUT reserve any Juice remaining

in the Foil. Glaze the Ribs for presentation or service.
 
The Tiger Sauce in a bottle around here is the red chile spicy pepper hot sauce. Pour it over a block of philadelphia cream cheese and serve with Ritz crackers for appetizers. Add jalapenos! Many other uses too...

Hey Steel.....about how much did you put on?  The Tiger Sauce I've seen is a pretty small bottle and it doesn't seem like it would go very far.  Did he just drizzle the Parkay and honey or really pour it to it.  Thanks!

As I said, my Foiling Juice was inspired by Johnny Trigg but I never actually tried his procedure. Yesterday I gave it a shot but with Butter, there is a Law against Chefs cooking with Margarine.

...It was good but very sweet and some of the sugar didn't melt so there were Crunchy spots. The Mrs. said I need to stick with my method of foiling...JJ

Parkay
 
It's Parkay Squeeze. Smart Balance makes a very similar product but, in the end, you can't tell the difference. I've put out some pretty good ribs over the years, but the Trigg method/recipe has been my "Go To" for the past 3 years. As always, I've made a few minor tweaks, but keep true to the basic ingredients and procedure. It's a winner.

Tiger Sauce is readily available in the Southeastern part of the U.S, but not too easy to find elsewhere.
 
White BBQ Sauce?

Is that from Cincinnati?
I've heard they have "White Chili" there.

(That's gotta be some kind of Yankee trick for us Southern boys.)

(White Chili! Yeah, Right! And I'm your Huckelberry, too.)

White BBQ sauce?
I can't believe it' snot butter.
Tiger Sauce is wonderful stuff but my own brand Walker's Biohazard Extreme Heat Sauce is better. (But I'm out of stock right now.)

I'll give it a shake with squeeze Smart Balance, brown sugar & apple sauce at foilin' time.
