Bad Byron's Butt Rub and Jubilee Seasoning

Bad Byron’s is more than famous in America. It is truly a staple ingredient in everybody’s kitchen. We might be located far away from there but Bad Byron’s Butt Rub and Bad Byron’s Jubilee Seafood Seasoning are truly the yin to our yang, the Ken to our Barbie, the Mac to our Cheese.

The Bad Byron’s brand has been going for over 16 years now, no mean feat for what was just a homemade seasoning once, albeit from a guy with a culinary degree. Bad Byron’s Butt Rub is a favourite amongst barbecue lovers but can be used in many different ways from grilling to marinating, steaming and broiling. It is even great as an added “je ne sais quoi” in a fresh Bloody Mary! Bad Byron’s Jubilee Seasoning is just as good but very different and somewhat more subtle which suits the more delicate flavours of fish and seafood.

What we love about Bad Byron’s Butt Rub and Bad Byron’s Jubilee Seasoning is that first, they never go out of fashion and can be used all year round and second, they are versatile and good to use at any point of cooking, whether you are going into full marinating mode or simply want to add a sprinkle on your food at the last minute.

Winner of many awards Bad Byron’s Butt Rub and Bad Byron’s Jubilee Seasoning should become as needed to you as salt and pepper, chips and malt vinegar, bacon and brown sauce.

Butt Rub at Grillstock

Gristock is fast becoming an unmissable event in the UK and is certainly the biggest BBQ and Music Festival in Bristol. Grillstock took place on the 2nd and 3rd July this year and had varied acts, cabaret and magic going on, live music and of course a hellish chilli eating competition!

We at the Devil’s Garden wanted to mention this event as one of our brands, Bad Byron won numerous awards at this year’s event. We were told us that Bad Byron was all the rage in America so we decided to try it and haven’t looked back since. The demand is very high for this spice mix and is a definite bestseller at the Devil’s Garden.

So without further ado, here are the awards that Bad Byron won at the 2011 Grillstock:

1st prize for Best Chicken, 1st prize or Best Pork Shoulder, 1st prize for Best Brisket, 1st prize for Best Ribs and overall King of the Grill! Bad Byron also won 1st prize for Best Dessert which was a crock pot chocolate cake.

Bad Byron has been around since the early 90’s so they definitely know what they are doing and have created a varied range of products since such as the Jubilee spice rub which has been specifically designed for Seafood. As Bar Byron themselves say: “A little butt rub makes everything better”, something that we can fully agree on so quickly get your hands on some of Bad Byron’s Butt Rub before stock runs out!

BBQ Season is Upon Us!

Well the weather seems to be improving (at last!) and the smell of barbecues is starting to be noticeable in gardens at weekends so at the Devil’s Garden we thought we would give you a few tips on how to make your party stand out:

Although technically not a chilli product, Bad Byron’s Butt Rub is a great way to add flavour to your meat. This seasoning has been running for 14 years in American and our compadres on the other side of the Atlantic can’t seem to get enough of it. The great thing about Bad Byron’s Butt Rub is that you can use it on its own or mix it with honey, olive oil, crème fraiche, butter, Worcester sauce and many more condiments and smother your food in it to create a marinade to die for!

From the creation of The Devil’s Garden we had lots of requests for a produce with hickory flavour so we hastened to offer Hot Headz Hickory Smoke sauce to the public. This produce doesn’t have any chillies either but what it lacks in heat it definitely makes up for in flavour. Just a few drops of Hot Headz Hickory Smoke will add depth to your food and you can also mix it with a chilli sauce that you really like that doesn’t have chipotle or a smoky flavour to it.

One of our biggest bestsellers at the Devil’s Garden whatever time of year is Dave’s Smokin Nuts. Not as hot as Dave’s Burning Nuts (thankfully!) these spicy peanuts are an absolute winner for flavour and still pack a punch. Flavoured with Piquin and chipotle chillies, this is a chilli snack we are always salivating about and one that is also always popular with friends and family.

Part of the 7 deadly sins collection, “Bliss” hot sauce from Sinful Sauces is a new favourite of ours. This is a medium hot chilli sauce that really works well in barbecues as is uses the smoky chipotle chilli and naga for the heat mixed in with slowly roasted tomatoes, onions, red wine vinegar, garlic, black pepper and spices.

So get the charcoal out, prepare your utensils and let’s get grilling!
