Bustin' with flavour since 2005, SuckleBusters is a family-run Texas outfit out of San Antonio — built on a straightforward "No Bad Stuff" promise: no MSG, no fillers, no artificial dyes or preservatives, ever.
Right now The Rub Hub carries two from the range: Hog Waller, their pork workhorse for ribs, pulled pork and shoulder, and Lemon Pepper Garlic, a lemon-and-black-pepper seafood rub born out of a fish sandwich stall in the Bahamas.
Hog Waller lays down a savoury, lightly sweet crust with a gentle peppery finish — shake it on pork ribs or a shoulder and let it build bark over a low-and-slow cook. Lemon Pepper Garlic goes the other way: bright, salty-tart and built for grilled fish, though it earns its keep on chicken too.
The wider SuckleBusters range has picked up eight major sauce and rub awards back home — the Scovie Awards, the Fiery Food Challenge, the National BBQ Association contest and two American Royal wins among them — so the pedigree behind these two runs deep.
Two rubs, zero nonsense, straight off a comp-proven Texas bench. Rub it down, cook it low, taste why San Antonio keeps restocking.
