Simply Marvelous rubs and seasonings are some of the most versatile products I have ever used. Their originality in flavors, depth, and quality easily adds a signature flavor to whatever you are preparing. They are uniquely versatile in they can be used every day at home, in a commercial food service setting, and of course in BBQ competitions!
