Time for some great original Memphis BBQ with this wonderful rub from Marlowe Restaurant in Memphis (on Elvis Presley Boulevard of course). I have cut the size down to home friendly. This is mainly a pork rub for ribs or pork butt but could be used on other meats.

This is a great all around pork rub although you could use it on almost any meat. Don’t skip the “secret ingredient” which is the Marlowe Black Magic Seasoning
The recipes were given to Guy Fieri of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives by the restaurant. But the original recipes (apparently already cut down) produced 11 1/2 cups of rub plus you need to put together “Marlowe’s Black Magic” and that recipe is 12 more cups of spices.
My Rating
Oh yeah, it is a strong 5.
Not really “Cooking For Two” friendly nor home cooking friendly in general. So I cut them down. For the rub, I used 2 tablespoons for every cup of an ingredient. A 1:8 reduction was making about 1 1/2 cup of rub. The “Black Magic” of which I only needed 1 tablespoon I cut down by 1 teaspoon for each cup. A 1:48 reduction was making about 4 tablespoons.
