Why do we use the word "BarbeQue"?

We use "Que" because historically the colonies and slaves in our area of North Carolina spoke a NC/SC variation of gullah that came from the French/Portuguese called "Plantation Creole." So while the word “barbecue” comes from the Spanish, the “barbeque” spelling reportedly came from the French phrase barbe à queue, which means “whiskers to tail” and describes the process of roasting an entire pig. (“BBQ” is the abbreviation since the word is pronounced “bahr-bi-kyoo). Since our heritage craft in Eastern North Carolina was Whole Hog where we cook the entire pig (nose to tail or rooter to the tooter), we use the "que" spelling to pay homage to our legacy.  

WHY CHOOSE A NO-SUGAR PORK RUB?

Many pork rubs lean on brown sugar, which can scorch during long smokes. This no-sugar blend stays stable under heat, helping you build a mahogany crust while keeping the meat juicy. It’s a smart pick for low-and-slow barbecue, high-heat searing, and for cooks who want clean, savory flavor that lets the pork shine.

CLEAN SPICES, REAL CAROLINA BARK

Crafted with straightforward spices—paprika, aromatics, and warm pepper notes—our rub delivers the bright, vinegar-country character Carolina barbecue is known for. Use 1–2 Tbsp per pound, press to adhere, rest 20–30 minutes, then cook: smoke butts until the bark sets, season ribs generously before the pit, or sear chops and tenderloin hot and finish indirect to 145°F. Try it on roasted sweet potatoes or whisked into mayo or yogurt for a quick, smoky dip.
