Tom Douglas "Rub with Love" Bengal Masala Rub is an exotic mix of Indian spices -cardamom, coriander and clove, with hints of garlic and chive adds flavor to lamb, chicken, seafood, beef or veggies. Tom and his wife Jackie own 5 of Seattles most remarkable restaurants Dahlia Lounge, Ettas, Palace Kitchen, Lola and Serious Pie. Our restaurants have also inspired a product line. Rub with Love has a great story: When we opened our seafood restaurant Ettas in 1995, the menu featured a signature salmon dish that was dry rubbed. The rub combined brown sugar, smoked chilies, and a hint of thyme to evoke the alder smoked salmon the Pacific Northwest is famous for. The dish became so popular (and still is) that people began asking for rub to use at home. After selling in hand packed zip lock bags for a few years, we introduced the Tom Douglas Rub with Love rub line in 1999. The rest is history A great selling point for Rub with Love Spice Rubs is their fast prep time. A quick sprinkle and rub 5-10 minutes prior to cooking is all the time it takes. Our spice rubs marry with the juices of whatever youre flavoring to form a delicious glaze. In just 10 minutes, youre ready to cook!
