Barbecue Chicken with White Sauce
Yep! Grew up on Gibson's, and every backyard BBQ-er in Decatur had their own mock up of the white sauce.

Where To Find Fried Pickles on the East Coast
I grew up with Wintzell's, and I noticed that they had fried pickles recently. It's a fairly new thing.
I'd say, in the Mobile area, the pioneer of fried pickles was a small chain based in Natches, MS, called Cock of the Walk. They are/were a catfish restaurant with a rustic steamboat them and "flipped cornbread." Went there particularly for their coleslaw, fried pickles and pickled onions.
I have a few picks of my most recent trip to Wintzells on my Flickr account (look for "ZenKimchi"). Just in case you're interested.
Dinner Tonight: Zen’s Kimchi Jjigae
I "discovered" (read: it was the only thing to eat while out drinking) tuna kimchi jjigae this past year. I LOVE IT!! It is a surprising flavor and is possibly one of the best applications in the world for canned tuna.
Dinner Tonight: Zen’s Kimchi Jjigae
Cool! Glad it worked out.
As for authenticity, I was playing and trying to recreate the flavor of the first kimchi jjigae that "did it" for me from a little blue collar diner down the street from my first place in Ansan, South Korea. I regularly ordered from there, and I asked them how they did it. They said they put a little this and a little that, but the one ingredient that stood out in my memory was sugar.
I also sometimes throw in some soju in my jjigae (when Significant Other isn't looking).
Wiener Water Soup
Add some gochujang and Spam and you have an authentic Korean Budae Jjigae.
In Videos: Food Commercials of the '80s, Breakdancing Edition
I remember every single one of those commercials during Saturday morning cartoons. I badly wanted that breakdancing video with the waxed breakdancing board--so I could "break and pop" safely, like Alfonso said.
In Videos: Korean Kimchi Commercial
It's actually a video produced/funded by the Korean Agroculture & Fishery Marketing Association to promote kimchi in Japan. It stresses qualities of kimchi that they think appeal to Japanese customers.
The Best Fried Chicken in Fast Food: Not the Colonel, Not Popeyes
Wow, it's been Americanized. There ain't no biscuits or macaroni here in Korea. Just the pickled radishes that no one eats.
Dinner Tonight: Shrimp in Crazy Water
I bet this would taste great chilled in the summer.

Barbecue Chicken with White Sauce
I dont live to far from Big Bob's and their white sauce is awesome. But Huntsville has i think its 3 Gibson's BBQ joints all different branches of the family. and some of them have even Better white sauce than BBG in Decatur. I usually go down to one of them and buy 2 bottles of sauce every couple of weeks, SO uses it on just about everything, including a ham and cheese sandwich, I thought he was nuts till i tried it, actually pretty tasty.
Where To Find Fried Pickles on the East Coast
In Florida -- the Gator's Dockside in Lake Mary, FL, just added a basked of fried kosher dills to their menu. They were about 2-inch rounds, between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick, fried quickly in a flavorful batter and still crisp inside, served with a cup of ranch dressing. We really enjoyed them, even if they sat a bit heavy afterward. But they were the highlight of the meal, and went wonderful with a pitcher of Yuengling...the dill flavor lasted quite a while on the palate.
Gator's Dockside also has EXCELLENT chicken wings, cooked dry-fried, batter-fried, or grilled, and tossed in a variety of sauces. Service is par for the course for a neighborhood sports bar.

Tony Packo's in Toledo, Ohio, offers their original pickles and peppers deep fried, with an assortment of dips (ranch, salsa, or spicy ketchup). The pickles are a spicy dill, but personally, I'd rather eat the fried pepper pieces and leave the fried pickles to my dinner companions!
