Only Alabama would mix lemon juice and pepper into mayo and call it white bbq sauce.

Muh fancy sauce

Thousand and one ways to make it. Here is how I like to make it

Say a cup and a half of mayo (Dukes very good choice here)
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon of fresh ground black pepper
Salt to tast
A garlic clove finely minced (or better yet use a microplane)
Tablespoon or so of white vinegar

Whisk. May choose to thin out with water.

Let sit in fridge for about an hour.

Yet, you cover your seafood in mayo-based remoulade. Don’t be butthurt nobody in LA knows how to ‘cue.

I’d put CC and LA23, not been to Blue Oak, against anything in Bama. Big Bob only tries at competition, his restaurant is shite.

That dude doesn’t just try...

A good buddy cooked a few stalls down from him for Memphis in May... he and Tuffy were side by side.

Also... the shed gets hammered on this site. They came out 2nd overall. He has a good rep around those teams.

Go check it out. They stole their recipes and methods from Bama-based Moe’s BBQ after they went through the process of opening a franchise and took the trade secrets to their own venture

Having a good competition team and having a shite restaurant is bad for the consumer and doesn’t improve the Q there. 95% of the people aren’t going to have your competition Q and it doesn’t mean you have great BBQ in your state if it isn’t available in your state. You can post all the results from competitions you want, but then people go to the Shed and Big Bobs and get a mediocre to a bad experience, that’s what matters. Any restaurant that way included. There are a ton of them across the country.

Yeah I need to go to Blue Oak, but my trips down to Louisiana are limited and I usually go after my favorite seafood places when I get back. It’s always a tough call to go BBQ. Had Moe’s several times, it’s decent chain BBQ.

That’s not a bad starting recipe. I’d use apple cider vinegar to taste instead of white, and maybe just a tad bit of spicy Dijon mustard. Some people add horseradish for kick instead.

It’s like making a salad dressing. Just keep at it until it tastes good.

I’ve made it a few times for BBQ chicken and pork.

Whatever recipe you use, make sure to completely emulsify the sauce. If you have a hand blender, use that. You don't want it to break up.

I don't have the recipe, but Saws in Homewood (suburb of Birmingham) has the best white bbq sauce. Their smoked half chicken smothered in it is easily a top five meal for me.

I make a simple one that everybody loves. I have never met anyone that didn’t rave over it when applied to smoked pork or chicken.

Alabama White

2 cups mayo
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup prepared horseradish
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp yellow mustard
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cayenne

Mix in a bowl and then refrigerate overnight to let the flavors settle.

Ms. Myra’s in Cahaba Heights is the bench mark for Alabama White Sauce. I know Bob Gibson in Decatur, AL is the origin, but theirs isn’t nearly as good IMO. Saw’s BBQ makes a good white sauce. Martin’s BBQ has a unique spin on theirs and includes a dash of nutmeg to the sauce.

There are two keys to this sauce: 1. Duke’s mayo. It’s the best mayo there is. 2. Fresh ground white pepper. White pepper is softer than black pepper and is the perfect compliment to the mayo. The rest is variable and to your tastes. Mine looks something like this.

1 1/2 cup Duke's mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons distilled apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon water to thin


Pinch of rub or cayenne to taste.

Didn’t measure precisely but, used...
1cup blue plate mayo
1/2 cup white vinegar
3 tablespoon prepared horseradish
3 tablespoon creole mustard
3 tablespoon steens cane syrup
Liberal salt and pepper
Blended with hand blender. Was very tasty. Used to marinate chicken thighs, grilled over medium heat, then served with the sauce on top.

Aubie is absolutely right about the white pepper.

White pepper is critical. I see a lot of horseradish recs. I’m not a horseradish fan, but add some of my bbq rub or cayenne for a little heat.

I really love a good white sauce or mustard sauce for bbq.
