Barbecue Deluxe Collection

We developed this rub to honor the Southerners who moved to Chicago in the 1920s, '30s, and '40s. Among the traditions they carried north was a tangy preparation for baby back ribs. Whether you crave ribs, a pork roast, chicken, or duck, this dry rub brings the flavor down home.

Since the early 1900s, Kansas City has rubbed its meat with spices, then slowly smoked pork, lamb, chicken or burnt ends over a variety of wood fuels, then served it up with a thick, tomatoey sauce. Put this Kansas City Barbecue Rub on dry, combine with tomato puree or ketchup to make a sauce, or add to Sloppy Joes.

People visit Jamaica for the beaches, but they stay for the jerk. Jamaican Jerk Seasoning is the island's piquant allspice and chile pepper rub for chicken and pork. Jerking is the technique of poking small holes in meat to infuse it with the jerk flavor.

If one flavor combination could represent The Spice House, it is this hard-working butcher's rub. Back of the Yards, our most popular blend, is ideal for grilling, great in burgers, and perfect with fish or eggs. It takes inspiration from the many immigrant cooking traditions that grew out of Chicago's historic meatpacking district.

The Creole cuisine of New Orleans unites European, Caribbean, and African influences. West African okra in French bouillabaisse became gumbo. Spanish paella with Caribbean peppers became jambalaya. And none of these dishes would taste the same without Creole seasoning. Our Louisiana Creole Blend is as delicious in crawfish étoufée as it is sprinkled on a po-boy.

Quebec is beloved for maple syrup, poutine, and, among insiders, its beef. Be it smoked brisket at a Montreal deli or a slow roast cooked outside on a snowy day, you can almost taste it as you cross the border. This rub is tangy, peppery, and garlicky, with a touch of cracked coriander.

The word barbecue, though practically synonymous with American cooking, actually hails from Hispaniola. We added chipotle and Mexican oregano to our blend. Try our Chipotle Garlic Barbecue Blend on meats and beans to make your next barbecue more North American, in the widest sense of the term!
