From behind the counter

Versions one through four live in a spiral notebook behind the register, and we are not printing them. Number five is the keeper: sweet Hungarian paprika folded with brown sugar, garlic, and a smoked salt we cure over post-oak. It is the rub we hand to people who say they do not cook.

Tastes like

  • sweet paprika
  • brown sugar
  • toasted garlic
  • post-oak salt

Put it on

  • Ribs and chicken thighs
  • Sunday pork shoulder
  • Roasted sweet potatoes
