Summer Smoking And Grilling

[ness]

Haven't been to Rosedale in years just because it's kinda out of the way for us. Definitely good que though.

I've had a couple so-so experiences at Jack's Stack over the last few years (with their burnt ends -- I hate biting into a big hunk of fat) so I've moved them down the list. Guy Fieti rolled into town a few years back and hit 3-4 of the small-name places. One of them, Johnny's in Mission, has become a favorite of ours. They do a great job on the meat, and their sauce is pretty interesting with some cinnamon or something going on.

That one would be after my time in the area. I wonder if it could be nutmeg? I've seen it mentioned a few times, but I've never tried it in a rub.

I think you're right about nutmeg.

cinnamon, ground coriander, clove, and allspice are all candidates for the "strange" flavor. I have not tried Johnny's so I cannot guess. However, I regularly use small amounts of some or all of these ground spices (and cumin) to change up the standard paprika/chili powder/garlic powder/onion powder/sugar rubs.

Itching to try a new rub? Start with Cavenders Greek seasoning instead of paprika, use less salt, and add the usual suspects other than onion powder and garlic powder.
