When it comes to BBQ, there is no shortage of delicious sauces, rubs or glazes. With so many great options out there, choosing the right stuff for your summer (or winter) BBQ can be downright dizzying. We decided to help you make decisions this summer by sharing a few of our local favorites.
Oaxaca Coffee Grill Rub

Why we love it: Sweet-spicy with the robust backbone of coffee. Makes weekday dinners feel like a trip to Mexico. Just add margaritas. glteaandspice.com
Rod Gentry’s Blanket of Love Grillin’ Thauth

Why we love it: Chipotle-nipped, molasses-and-maple rich but not a wee bit sweet.
Find it in T.C. at Left Foot Charley winery, burritt’s or rodgentry.com
Cherry Republic Cherry Garlic Glaze

Why we love it: Smooth, pure cherry flavor laced with sweet garlic is a memorable choice for char-grilled chicken.
