White Sauce Barbecue

Some places define their barbecue by the kinds of meat they slow-smoke. It’s brisket in Texas, for example, or pork ribs in St. Louis. In Alabama, barbecue is defined by its unusual white sauce, essentially mayonnaise mixed with vinegar, salt, and pepper. The simple preparation has garnered a cult following, and it’s a must if you’re in the northern part of the state.
