J Christopher Co. was thought up in 2006, after years of experimenting with many commercial spice rubs and blends, looking for the perfect Baby Back Rib rub... After years of frustration and disappointment, and many failed BBQ dinners, our founder JC Flugger wanted more. No other blend met his expectations, so he made his own, THE RUB. That is why Nothing Else Matters!
After a trip to Jerusalem in 2009, while walking through the world renowned street market of Shuk Machane Yehuda in Jerusalem, Israel, the final pieces to the puzzle were discovered! Working with traditional BBQ flavors from Tennessee, then fused with fresh tastes of California, and finishing with old world spice standards - THE RUB was born.
We welcome you to try this amazingly well balanced blend of spices, herbs, and flavors - and not just for BBQ. Fish, veggies, popcorn, Bloody Marys, rice dishes, hot wings... It's all good!
