🌍 Origin & History

Jim Goode's BBQ Beef Rub is a Texas institution. Goode Company Barbecue in Houston has been serving some of the best Central Texas-style BBQ since 1977. Their rub is simple — heavy on black pepper, minimal on sugar — which is exactly the Texas way. Great beef doesn't need a sweet rub; it needs salt, pepper, and time.
