Featuring 16 individual and creative dry rubs, we are one of the web's most popular resources of dry rubs and spices for your grill. We're barbecue and grilling fanatics that have been cooking, experimenting, trading recipes, and generally honing our spice creations on warm weekends for years. Actually, we've been doing this for what seems like more years than we'd like to admit. On cold weekends in Kansas City and Chicago, we begrudgingly dragged ourselves and our spices indoors and substituted our grills for a gas stove and a few pots and pans.
It all started innocently enough with an incredibly delicious chicken rub called, "Chicken Rub" (Hey, we're creative at blending spices, not naming 'em). Years later, we eventually renamed our chicken rub "Scarborough Chicken", after one of our favorite folk songs. Pretty soon friends and family began asking us to give them the recipe and prodding us to try blending meat rubs for beef, poultry, and fish.
After a year or two of trial and error, we felt proud enough of a garlic, onion, and paprika dry rub to call it "Moo Better Beef" after one of our favorite movies. Soon afterwards a family vacation to New Orleans inspired "Oink Anoint", a blend of hickory smoked spices, chili, lemon and basil. We followed up with an interesting fragrant blend for fish called "Wish Upon A Fish", that began gracing our barbecue grilling escapades just last year. Next on deck was Jerks of the Caribbean, the world's only politically-inspired (and jerk spice-inspired) dry rubs, Rock 'N' Rubs, a musical medley of spices, and our crazy original Kevin's Bacon Rubs.
We hope you enjoy our creative dry rubs, and meat seasonings. Our customers love what we do and we hope you do, too. We look forward to hearing about the wonderful creations you create with McPugs Grub Rubs.
Happy Grilling from all of us here in Evanston, IL and Kansas City, MO
