Tin Roof shuts down
So I'm pretty bummed out. Tin Roof Barbecue, which was right down the street from me in Hoover, Alabama, has shut down. I'm guessing it had to do with multiple failures on health inspections (it was never the cleanest feeling place), but the food was always good, and they had a good sauce selection.
There's been quite a bit of change in the Birmingham barbecue market lately, and this is the latest.

Basic vinegar-based barbecue sauce
Vinegar-based barbecue sauce is a staple of northeastern South Carolina (the Sandhills region around Florence, Sumter and Marion), and it's what people across the country typically call North Carolina style sauce. Unlike a typical barbecue sauce, which is a balancing act of sweet and tart, most people make this stuff all about the vinegar.
It's quite thin, which is great for pulled pork and pulled chicken, but is kind of wasted on a rack of ribs.
