Here is a dish we really like to eat. Owensboro has the International BarBQue Festival the second week in May. Hope you like it too!

Pick out your favorite meat. Around here we like mutton, beef, pork, or chicken Rub it down with seasoning. Cook it over some red-hot coals. Baste it while it cooks. Then eat it!

The Rub

2 Tbsp Salt
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Ground Cumin
