About This Blend

The city of Memphis has a distinct style of BBQ rubs and seasonings, although every family's recipe varies significantly. One consistent component is a blend of brown and white sugars. Sauces and mops are not traditional in Memphis BBQ. Instead, unique Memphis rubs, wood smoke, and regional cooking methods combine to create the true flavor of Memphis barbecue.
