BBQ question of the Day: Favorite Sauce

CW3 Kevin Storm — Wed, 05 Aug 2015 13:05:05 -0400

Hey, we all love our "Q." The question is what is your favorite sauce, and I have to admit, I have tried a lot of sauces, one has eluded me so far, as I haven't been to Alabama to try some of that tangy white mayo sauce, but is on my Q bucket list. So lets here what you like, and on what.

I concoct my own from a combination of store bought sauces and my own spices. No you can't have the recipe.

I prefer a dry rub with a variation of an asian (soy, ginger ,and dry mustard) moped on the last 10 - 15 minutes. Baby back ribs...yummy, yummy.

My favorites are sauces from:
- Country's BBQ - Columbus GA (mustard base)
- Dreamland BBQ - Tuscaloosa, AL (tomato base)

If you can't get Country's, get Foy's BBQ Sauce, which is a pretty close to Country's. It is available in many grocery stores in Alabama and Georgia.

My favorite "private label" sauce is "Nick's Kids" BBQ Sauce ... Private brand put out by Nick Saban (Alabama football coach, for you "uneducated") to raise funds for charity.

I'm much more of a dry rub guy as I want the flavors including the smoke throughout my meat. Most sauces overpower the true taste so I'll eat some first and then sauce it if I want. I do like the Carolina baby backers with slaw on top. I make up a rub containing about 12 ingredients. If I must buy something from the store, Sweet Baby Rays is a good one to tinker with. I do like cupcake chicken done with root beer sauce. So many ways, so little time....

Where is Kansas City Sauce. Actually I like anything with a touch of Vinegar. Here in KC BBQ is a religion but the Main Question is which Local Brand, Gates, Oklahoma Joes, Fiorella Jack Staks. I'm a Jack Stak Man and it is a common gift that I mail to my Children on Appropriate Holidays.

Why would you spend 12 hours infusing ribs with Hickory Smoke goodness and then cover it up with fancy Ketchup? Save that stuff for the beans!

I go to a little BBQ place a few miles from me in the summer and use the House Sauce, it has the bite that I like, and it mask the flavor of the rib tips that I like to get.

Make my own. Have a couple that stand out. One with bourbon and one using apple juice one. I use a rub on them for 3-4 days. Then bring up to room temp before cooking. The sauce is in the last 30 minutes and also served on the side.
