Tom Douglas "Rub with Love" Steak Rub is a deep, intense flavors of chile, garlic, and rosemary make this rub a hearty Southwestern compliment to your steak. It's also great on chicken or roasted potatoes. Blend of ancho chilies and sweet smoked paprika with garlic and rosemary make this Southwestern flavor a hearty compliment to grilled steaks. Tom and his wife Jackie own 5 of Seattle's most remarkable restaurants - Dahlia Lounge, Etta's, 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 Etta's 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...
