Rubs and Seasonings

Q.  I see from your website that you have some rubs and seasonings.  They look really good.  Would you please let us know more about them? 

They are pretty good if I do say so myself! 

We currently have 12 different rubs and seasonings.  Some were designed for specific foods and others are for general use. 

In general a spice rub is any mixture of spices that is made for the purpose of being rubbed on raw food before the food is cooked. The food can be marinated in the spice rub for some time for the flavors to incorporate into the food or it can be cooked immediately. The spices are usually coarsely ground. In addition to spices, salt and sugar may be added to the rub, the salt for flavor and the sugar for caramelization.

Cooking with rubs is almost always done using a dry heat method of cooking where almost no water based liquid is used in cooking – in other words…grilling.

All rubsHere’s a listing of the rubs available and the general use for them.

Austin Lil Butt Mesquite – This Texas style blend of garlic, onion, and mesquite oil makes all of your grilled food taste as big as the great state. Texans like it on ribs or brisket. Vegans like it on zucchini. One of our best sellers.

Blackened Louisiana – A classic rub straight out of the bayous of Louisiana. If you want a different tasting spice that will make you feel like you’re eating in the French Quarter this is for you. Great on fish and shrimp.

Buffalo Wide Right – This spicy and delicious blend of hot peppers and butter flavor make this a great rub for chicken wings. Ask your guests if they want their wings wet or dry!

Cayuga Falls Chicken – A mouthwatering combination of citrus and savory. A blend designed especially for grilling chicken.  Add to olive oil and brush on before putting the chicken on grill. 

Florida Orange Habanero – A spicy, citrus blend of deliciousness makes this seasoning a favorite for all fish and veggies. It adds an incredible zest when used on seafood. Watch out for the habanero kick! It’s great on shrimp.

Kingston Jamaica Jerk - Island heat and spices blend with the famous traditional Carribean flavors. Apply liberally to chicken, fish or shellfish. The only blend you need for all your jerking, Mon.

Portland Buttered Apple – Sweet butter and sweet apple reminiscent of a clear and crisp autumn day. This rub is excellent on tenderloin and spectacular on a slice of Vidalia onion on the grill.

Sarasota Seafood Seasoning - A taste of the ocean or the bay.  This savory blend of pungent spices is reminiscent of spending the day on the boat with the wind and spray on your face. This rub is excellent on crabs and lobster or your favorite choice of seafood.

Seattle Bacon Hickory – The exquisite combination of bacon and hickory make this rub a favorite on all cuts of pork. Use this rub generously on beef or pork ribs 24 hours before cooking and they will be fallin’ off the bone delicious.

St. Louis Steak Seasoning – A mouth-watering blend of seasonings with a hint of mesquite enhances the taste of each and every steak you grill. It can also be used on thick juicy pork chops or tuna steaks.

St. Paul Sweet on Fire – A perfect blend of a little bit sweet and a little bit hot. Another excellent blend for fish or chicken. Brush or spray a little olive oil on asparagus, sprinkle the rub on and grill it. You’ll love it.

Wildcat Bourbon – This blend of bourbon, molasses, coffee, and chili peppers, make this one of our most popular blends. It’s great on pork, steaks and especially on chicken wings. Try it on grilled veggies or your morning home fries.
