Alabama BBQ

Never been to Alabama, but I've heard there is a "white sauce" that they are known for to eat with grilled meats. I'd love to have an authentic recipe and ideas on how to use it.

Thank you BhamBabe!

Thanks Bhambabe

I will try it tonight!!!!

If you are up for another get away

Mexico Beach, the weekend of Aug 25-27
Friday Night there is a cookout at the El Govenor. We will smoke up several hundred pounds of fresh cajun sausage, ice cold adult beverages, and a beautiful sunset over the gulf.

That is the weekend of the annual MBARA Kingfish Tournament.

The MBARA cooking team we will be there with aprons on and spicy mustard at the ready for those wonderful sausages.

Good luck and let me know how ya like it. Best the next day of course.

You are such a tease! I wish I could head down but I'll be knee deep in moving to New Orleans around that time. Guess which I'd rather be doing? Just the description makes me drool! Eat enough for me too will ya?

Let me know if y'all are gonna do something anytime in Sept. I'll have a window open I can float around then. I'd like to do some kind of good eating, other than that blues would be a nice option :-)

Fabulousoyster, you are so welcome. Enjoy!

Fabulousoyster - You must try the white sauce, you will love it. Great on grilled chicken and to dip your hushpuppies in.

For ribs, my favorite is O'So Good Bar-B-Que,US231 Hwy.N.,Oneonta,Al.I'm 15 mins.from the Dreamland in Birmingham, but I drive the 40 mins.for Oscar's ribs, at O'So Good.

i must agree. oscar really knows how to serve up some good ribs. and its all about the sauce..

Here is another vote for The Brick Pit in Mobile.

Based on a post here and one in Google Earth, we stopped at the Green Top BBQ last weekend. The food was delicious and inexpensive. The staff was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere evoked the best of the Heart of Dixie: Nascar on the TV over the counter; white-bearded, overalled gentlemen wearing United Mine Worker baseball caps filled a booth by the window. We'll definitely stop by again.

agoforth, glad you enjoyed it. That little bump on the road is my hometown. I hope Tony and the girls gave you a right nice time. I miss it like crazy. Aint no bbq fit down here in La...well, it might be fit but it aint from home thus, very different.

R.I P. Chicken Comer's in Phenix City...
