Charlie Vergos Rendezvous Famous Memphis Barbecue Dry Rub Seasoning (4.5 oz)

Love this fir steaks and works wonderfully well in meatloaf!

A few years ago, after reading about the restaurant in "The Barbeque Bible" by Steven Raichlen as being his choice for one of the top ten BBQ places on earth, I had a chance to dine at this mecca due to travel near Memphis for my daughter's soccer tournament. We spent Friday and Saturday in Germantown enjoying the soccer event but I was also looking forward to Sunday when I would acheive a quest of my own.We arrived in the area near noon that Sunday as we had a long drive ahead back to Dallas/Fort Worth. After touring the Gibson guitar plant, we went down the small alley toward the place when a smiling man called to us from the shadows, "You must be here for the Rendezvous!". I said "Yes, Yes Yes!", my face gleaming. Then he said "Sorry, it is closed on Sunday".Disspirited, we walked over to Beale street and entered a shop that coincedently sold the restaurant rub. I bought a couple shakers thinking at least I'll have a taste something like their ribs at home. We walked up the steet and had a very good meal and entertainment at B.B. King's and then made our way to Texas.A couple of weeks later, I was able to try the rub on a rack of ribs. Simply GREAT (and I do mean simply). Just follow the intructions on the shaker which call for basting while grilling in a solution of 1/2 vinegar to 1/2 water.Add the rub near the very end of cooking. Just so delicious.I now buy four at a time and have given the same as gifts. Enjoy.

This seasoning is not only excellent on ribs but it also spices up pork chops. I season both sides with the dry rib cook on the grill the top with spicy bbq sauce. Family and friends rave about the flavor our chops have.

Outstanding seasoning blend.

My favorite is to rub some thick cuts of pork chops with the rub. Brown them in Dutch oven on some oil then pour in water into the pot (about half way up the chops) and stick the whole thing in the oven on 350 for about 3 hours. No need for any other spices or salt. Add just small amounts of water but let it finish off dry. So tender and so tasty!

My mom loves this product and was on her last bottle, we could not find it locally. Of course I went to Amazon and found it quickly. I generally do my research before purchasing an item but this time I did not. I paid approximately $7 for ONE bottle and then later discovered I could get 2 bottles on Walmart.com for a little over $5.00! Lesson learned for me, as you cannot return it but hope this helps someone else.The product itself it awesome! I love it on chicken that is baked in the George Foreman grill. The four stars is for the product, would have given five if the price had been lower.

If you’re looking for something different to shake up your BBQ game, this rub will do it. Add it to mop sauces and definitely mix it into ground beef instead of onion soup mix for brilliant burgers. Ever want to try Tennessee “dry rub” BBQ but can’t afford the trip? Problem solved!

I am obsessed! I have put this on chicken and salmon so far. Such a great flavor without overpowering the food. I can’t wait to try this on some summer bbq hamburgers!
