Todd David of Cattleack Barbeque in Dallas helps us celebrate International Bacon Day by demonstrating his technique for homemade barbecue sauce and dry rub for under $8.
This seasoning can be used on bacon and for all cuts of pork. In the video, David explains the three stages of how to blend spices for best results, then demonstrates how to “dry rub” meat for best flavor.
