Went to Big Bob Gibson's last month. The chicken with white sauce was good, but not great. The pork was pitiful and bland. I saw all of the trophies that guy won for pork so they must not be serving the same pork in the restaurant. No smoke flavor, no seasoning, no real taste.
Competition food is a lot different than restaurant food for sure.
Most of them are old, appreciation of good BBQ has changed too.

If you're in Alabama though, just go to Gibson's or Miss Myra's if you want chicken and white sauce.
Or to the Greenbriar, I prefer their chicken to Gibson's in that area anyway...

Ate at Big Bob's yesterday.
People were friendly. Asked what they were famous for and was told their pork plate so I tried that.
Mac-n-cheese was very good. Cole slaw looked like duck weed and a little different. They did serve rolls with butter-step up from the usual white bread.
But the pulled pork. No smoke flavor. Just all around bland. How would this ever win a contest? Is blandness a virtue? Couldn't wait to get back to TX. This joint wouldn't last two months in Texas.
Tried all three sauces and liked 'em all.

The Competitions were all won mostly a long time ago. Bob's has gone downhill a lot. Their chicken and white sauce is the only meat I'd ever get there anymore. I don't even consider them top 5 in the state at this point. It is just famous off of what it once was.

I really didn't like Greenbriar last time I went, though it has been a while. Maybe I went on a bad day. Just was all pretty bland. Hushpuppies were great though.
I'm not really even a big Gibson's fan either. They do however have some sort of claim on Alabama white sauce, so the novelty aspect of it for those who have never tried it before. Miss Myra's is by far the best chicken and white sauce, and the rest of their BBQ is up there as well.

I love that white sauce on chicken. I’m not much of a mayonnaise guy and the thought of it frankly repulsed me but I tried it a few years ago and damned if it wasn't really good. I make my own now and use it on smoked chicken leg quarters. Sure beats the hell out of the red colored BBQ sauce.
Changing topics here but I also like Dreamland’s BBQ sauce because it’s not sweet and I like the fact that it’s a liquid finishing sauce. Ever since I’ve moved to Alabama I’ve really grown to appreciate their BBQ sauces in this state.

Damn does anyone on this board Memphis in May? Gibson won the Grand Championship just two years ago. Granted his pork at the restaurant is lacking, however, I find this at most BBQ joints I go to . Nothing beats a Butt smoked at the house. I think most BBQ places either are afraid to use to much smoke or they use a Gas Smoker (Southern Pride) and they suck at smoking meat.

I knew it was recent. I think Myron won last year. These guys dont use the same recipe for comps as they do in the restaurant. It does not make sense cause the Comps are judged basically on one bite and they have an idea what flavors judges are looking for. However I fink it hard to get any good BBQ at most Restaurants. The only places I was impressed with in the last few years have been Skylight Inn in NC and Fox Bros in Atlanta.

Ms Myra’s in Cahaba Heights has the best chicken and white sauce in Alabama. Get the deviled eggs, baked beans, and the pie slice of your choice. Also, Charlie’s BBQ in Odenville and Saw’s BBQ in Crestline have good chicken and white sauces.

It might be a little different but hell its just a sauce. Mayo, vinegar etc...
I make a bunch of the but them but the best to me is just the vinegar sauce for pork. I don't like sweet or thick sauces. I like thin and tangy.
