Fancy Hank's started cooking low-and-slow barbecue in 2012 out of a Melbourne bowls club car park, before the queues got long enough to need a kitchen on Bourke Street. The Rub Hub is a stockist of their bottled range, not the restaurant: barbecue sauces, hot sauces, a tomato sauce, banana ketchup and seasonings, all made in Australia in small batches with no preservatives. Every bottle and jar is $12, with flat $10 shipping Australia-wide.
