imilar to South Carolina's mustard sauce, Alabama's white,
mayonnaise-based sauce is found almost exclusively in its state of
origin. More specifically, the sauce is linked to pit master Big Bob
Gibson in Decatur, Alabama. He originally specialized in smoking
pork and chicken and complementing it with his tangy, peppery
white sauce.
Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q, which now operates local outposts in Concord and
Steele Creek, originated in Alabama. In a nod to its home state, the restaurant
introduced the Morgan County white sauce. It is designed to accompany the
restaurant's chicken and turkey. Jim 'N Nick's original sauce is a well-balanced
tomato-based sauce that's not too thick and not too sweet. e restaurant also
serves a Carolina vinegar sauce and a habanero sauce.
"Barbecue is so personal to people," says Troy Taylor, local owner for Jim 'N
Nick's. "e style of barbecue you grew up on will always be your favorite."
