Our Story

Our journey started in Tennessee, the heart of heat, meat and blues. Raised with Memphis on the mind and an itch for the road in the soul, our recipes were created somewhere between home & Dallas. Taking a bit from the past and the present, we merged the two king cities of barbecue to make something all our own.

Meet our first bottle, the Shak Rub. The one and only, the original, the OG, the recipe of our roots.

GIVE US A TASTE


C’mon, you know you want to.

As fresh as it is fine, this flavor is full of vegetables and herbs that’ll make your mouth water while you eat. From crisp grill marks to the smokey wood-fire-slow-cook, this seasoning will make your meat shine.

Rub it in, nice and slow. Give it some love. It really gets that flavor in there.
