Have to agree with both Gypsy and WCH. McCormicks Montreal Steak and Chicken seasoning along with fresh garlic, are probably my most used spices.

Even though I'm not a big fan of "pre-mixed" seasoning, Larue's Dillo Dust is pretty good...

If you have an ALDI Food Store near you, they put out a decent line of Herbs and Spices. They come in a container with the "Grinder" head on it. Theyre basically a pretty decent product.

The ones shown here are: Chicken, Pizza and Pasta, Steak and Chops, Country Herb and Coarse Sea Salt

I like the Montreal Steak seasoning and would agree with Echoes that Penzey's Spices are top notch. In fact, I have suggested the wife stops by Penzey's on Friday to stock up.

One mix that I recommend is Butt Rub. It may sound questionable, but it does a number on pork chops!

Red Flag 1 · 02-24-2009, 13:20

Looking for Penn's input!

Sicilian "House Mix", used on about everything cooking to finish:
Sicilian White salt and Kosher salt, fresh cracked black Pepper and
Garlic powder. I'd give amounts, but uncle Nunzio is in the room!

McCormick"s Cinnamon Chipolte for Pork and Chicken.
McCormick's Montreal Steak for steak Seasoning.
Oil and Vinegar Fish Wish for some seafood.
Old Bay Rub and Seasoning for seafood.
Ducks Unlimited Poultry and Game Rub for pork and poultry.
Ducks Unlimited Lemon and Lime Pepper for fish and poultry.
City Tavern mix for Turkey. Salt, Pepper, Shallots, Parsley under skin.
Chardonnay and Oak Smoked Salt for a finish salt on steaks if needed.
Fleur de Sel Salt on fresh veggies. With oil and vinegar.
Peruvian Pink Salt on Tomatoes or bruschetta.
Gray Salt, finishing salt on just about anything. Great on Cukes, and Tomatoes.
English Flake Salt on Veggies and meat before roasting..salty crunch.
Martini & Rossi with about all seafoods...also most white meats.
Burgandy with ground beef. Maderia will work.
Parsley..fresh.
Garlic with pork..slivers cut and inserted into pork.

Eat well....drink well.......live well.

Does the Butt Rub come with a happy ending?

If you all will allow me to indulge for a brief moment...Having today been allowed to share the story of my mentor and put His memory to rest, I salute you Mr. Weaver! With Penzey's spices, I will roast and enjoy a Cornish Hen this evening.

Here's a toast to You, filled with the Woodbridge Cab-Sav you enjoyed! And thank you Mr. Weaver, for your brave service to Our Country!

Fresh Garlic
Black Peppercorn with Grinder
Garlic Salt
Ground Cayenne
Fresh Basil
Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar
Brown Sugar

My wife bought a Sweet & Smoky Barbecue Rub and a Jamaican Jerk Rub while I was down range that is pretty good on your choice of BBQ. They are both made by Pampered Chef. McCormick's blends are good as well. Their Lemon Pepper goes great with Tilapia, Red Snapper, or anything else similar in taste.

Red wine for tenderizing steaks or beef in general.

Dale's Steak seasoning blended with pineapple for Chicken. A little honey or added brown sugar to get it to caramelize on the grill. Topped off with a pineapple ring. Good eating.
