Franklin Admits to the Lawry's

[Dustin Dorsey]

This Seasoning Is the Worst-Kept Secret in Texas Barbecue

While most joints proclaim there's just salt and pepper in their rubs, there is a key ingredient that even Aaron Franklin himself fesses up to using.

I found this interesting as it has come up on various Youtube channels like Chud's BBQ and Jirby's BBQ. I've been a pretty strong proponent of S&P on brisket over the years mainly because of Franklin.

I smoked two racks of Creekstone prime beef ribs a couple weeks ago. I used 2 part pepper, 1 part kosher salt, 1 part Lawry and 1/2 part granulated garlic. Could not tell any diff from all the ribs I've smoked with S/P .

I like Lawrys. No big deal cause I am not famous........

 

[Dustin Dorsey]

I've used various rubs like Meat Church Holy Cow on briskets and honestly I can't tell much difference. I haven't tried using Lawry's yet. I might try it on beef ribs.

I have it in my spice cabinet ( big one from Sam's club ) along with Old Bay.
Both are old school blends that our parents used for BBQ before all heck broke loose.

I have dusty bad feelings for lawrys but I may try it. Have a lot of old bay. Anyone want it.

I have for years covered my smoked dry rub ribs with Mccormicks Season All(now branded as Mortons) and its about as good as a rub can get in my opinion and the opinion of many rib eaters in my feeding range. I have no shame in saying that. All the custom specialty grade rubs have been hard pressed to beat it on the rib.

I've never put Lawry's into a rub, but have thought about it. I wonder what a "good" ratio of salt/pepper/Lawry's would be?

Lawry's is a seasoned salt so I would omit any further salt.

And it's an essential part of a rub on Southside Chicago Rib Tips.

Still not my favorite. But I will give it a try again

I never understood "seasoned salt". Why not just sell the seasoning and let people add their own salt? The article kind of answers that question and I learned something today. Pretty cool to see some of these products from back in the day that still work like crazy.

Here's a video with a guy talking about the subject. He makes his own knockoff Lawry's in the video.

He dispels the idea that it has glutamates.

I'm doing two butts this weekend. ( for future vac sealing for the family)
Might experiment and do a light dusting of Lawry's on one and Old Bay on the other.
Easter is Sunday so a good time to cook.

It's also good on pork chops. I knocked it until I tried it.

Wife has had it for a while, never tried it, but I will give it a go.

The occasional diner or local joint by me offers old bay fries

I don't think I've ever seen "Old Bay" in the grocery store; is it an east coast thing? What's in it?

It's everywhere. Walmart, Target, supermarkets, and Amazon.
