Sandwiches That Were Invented In Each State - Iqraa news

While y’all slathered ribs and brisket in red tomato-based sauces, Alabama invented white BBQ sauce. Because down in Dixie, things are done a certain way — barbecue included.  

In 1925, Big Bob Gibson — a 6-foot-4, 300-pound railway worker — started smoking pork and chicken in his backyard in Decatur, Alabama, using hickory-fired brick pits. He created a rich, tangy blend of mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, pepper, and a touch of lemon juice to keep his slow-roasted chickens from drying out.  

Drenched in this signature white sauce, the pulled chicken sandwich remains a fan favorite at Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q, which has been going strong since the day it opened.
