Chicago Fire Barbecue Rub

Proprietary Blend

Local Chicago Fave

Quality

According to legend, in October 1871, a fire that started in the O'Leary barn burned down most of Chicago. Because wildfires started at the same time around Lake Michigan, astronomers now believe the destruction was caused by the break-up of a comet. We packed all that heat into this tangy, complex barbecue rub that's truly ideal for ribs.
