In this session, we hear from Brian Misko of House of Q as we continue talking about how to market BBQ sauces and rubs. I think you’ll find Brian an extremely detailed and informative resource on the topic of how to start marketing rubs and sauces from the smallest of beginnings to a large-scale effort using external production facilities like the co-packer operation we addressed in Podcast Session 3 with Tim Forrest.
Before we get to the excellent information Brian provides in this session, I want to be sure and steer you towards his book:
Brian sent me this book last year, and I was immediately struck by the way he combines a wide variety of live fire cooking recipes (both grilling and low and slow smoking) with stunning photos and enjoyable storytelling sensibility. The recipes in Grilling with the House of Q well-planned and delicious and are in many cases accompanied by fun stories about their origins.
