Bob Gibson’s white sauce it’s lights out! If you’ve hacked it, it’s a great addition to the recipe list for anyone!

There is no need to hack it, it is on the internet and in his book and in the recipe index of thousands of BBQ'ers.

It's a good change of pace from tomato and mustard sauces.

From what I read Big Bob Gibson didn't keep his white sauce recipe a secret. That is why it's so easy to find. But I've heard the recipe has been tweaked over the years at his BBQ restaurant.

Yes, yes and yes.

Just remember this is not a glazing sauce, this is a dip and serve sauce, and a bowl on the side for more dipping is great too.

Big Bob Gibson put Northern Alabama on the BBQ map, and introduced White Sauce to the BBQ masses.
It's a shame that his restaurant is so big and so popular that quality has suffered due to mass production.

Now that sounds good! I've never been a fan of the white dipping sauces, not even blue cheese or ranch. But I love cole slaw and that sauce would kick it up a few notches.

Though it's been a while, I've made the sauce a few times with good results. Using it for coleslaw sounds like a good idea.

A few years ago, I was in Birmingham on business and a couple of us, with some time to kill before catching a flight, went to the restaurant in Decatur. We should have stayed in Birmingham. It was a waste of time, gas, and money.

So many BBQ Joints start with an individual or small dedicated team making food with pride and excellence. Get recognition and become a legendary destination and you grow too fast, just hiring warm bodies to bang out quantity at the expense of quality. For the owners, it becomes all about profit, not so much pride. The place is packed with people that read about the place, here or there and go because the place is famous. Basically Tourists that don't know great Q. Anyone in the know, tastes the crappie food, wonders why they wasted a trip and the money, then never go back...JJ

Chef JimmyJ took the words right out of my fingertips. My wife and I both tried it on chicken, and ended up making slaw with it, adding sugar to taste for sweetness. Great slaw recipe.
