ABOUT THE BAMA BUTTS
- The backbone of Alabama BBQ is the pork. Smoked low and slow for hours by dedicated individuals, the best bites are always tender and juicy. For one night only on June 13th, the Bama Butts will hit the field to show off the staple of this state. Our Pitmaster Pig, with his prodigious posterior, is rearing to show off his skills with a smoker and cook you up a hearty rump.
ABOUT THE ALABAMA WHITE SAUCE
- Born in 1925 at Big Bob Gibson's Bar-B-Q in Decatur, AL, our state's favorite condiment is undoubtedly the tangy taste of Alabama White Sauce. Whether it's chicken, pork, seafood, or anything else your taste buds desire, this creamy concoction is a Southern sensation. Our Saucy Squirt Bottle Scientist has been honing his craft for 100 years, searching far and wide for the best culinary combinations. The recipe may be a secret, but trust us — it goes great on everything. Taste for yourself on June 14th.
BBQ Weekend at Toyota Field will be highlighted by “Best Pork Butt” and “Best White Sauce” contests on Friday and Saturday night, respectively. Fans are invited to purchase BBQ sampling ticket packages (limit of 200 available per game) to taste the best of our local culinary scene and vote for their favorites.
