So my husband and I stopped at a BBQ shop when we were on a trip and I picked up a couple of rubs- meat church's honey hog and john Henry's summer peach. I thought I'd do a side by side taste test along with my homemade rub
as you can see I kept them straight by number of toothpicks
overall, they are all good. I will use all of them. I was a little disappointed that my rib was in everyone's top two and has the most number one picks. However, I did like the peach a lot except I think it was stronger than I expected it to be. I'll use less next time.
I also learned that I like ribs even without sauce.
