From behind the counter
This is the rub that started the whole shop, worked out over four summers on a backyard offset in Waldo. Turbinado sugar and a whisper of espresso build that mahogany bark; cracked Tellicherry and smoked paprika do the talking underneath. It is named for the only barbecue cut Kansas City ever needed to invent.
