May 11, 2010 - BBQ Rub

I went to Illinois last year and was turned onto this BBQ rub that the local IGA (? store name) made in their department – and it tasted exactly like BBQ chip seasoning, very sweet, not too spicy, you could lick your fingers after handling the rub and swear you just ate BBQ chips. Anyways,...
