White Barbecue Sauce
In northern Alabama, barbecue simply isn’t worth eating without a tangy white sauce the chief ingredients of which are vinegar, mayonnaise, and black pepper — the way it’s served at the popular Big Bob Gibson’s in Decatur, Alabama. My own contribution to the recipe is a blast of prepared horseradish. It isn’t traditional, but I like its kick.
