This rub gets used on just about everything at Gus’s BBQ, adding that “just-right” smoky spice. We figured it was time to share the wealth, and let you take our secret spices at home.

Everything was fantastic, as usual. You can't best their brisket and jalapeño grits. First time having the cornbread, and I thought was mediocre at best.
