What’s Black, White and Red? No, it is not a Skunk with Diaper rash. It is the colours of the Three Hot Tamales.
I think have figured out the Three Hot Tamales. You see, every product they make is named appropriately. Whether it is Garlic Lovers Steak Sauce or the main focus of this review, Rub Me the Right Way Sweet Rub. No reference to a bleeding torn anus or a Mother F***ing Hot Sauce that is hotter than everything else out there. The THT’s are honest, to the point and back up every one of their products with a taste de force in every bottle.
What is left to say about the Three Hot Tamales. Everything they touch turns to gold. The red, white and black labels have become synonymous with great, bold flavors. Sure, I think they could use a touch up for the logo but at this stage, who cares. I will give one warning prior to the use of this rub. Shake it well…….shake it very well. The spices tend to cluster together with each other. A couple good quick shakes will take care of that.
A top notch rubThis rub looks great. You can see all the ingredients listed. At first the rub almost looks like a confectionary for a desert. I wouldn’t be surprised if it could be used for that as well. The aroma is strong and powerful and doesn’t lie about what you are getting into here.
If you are looking for heat stay away from this. There isn’t any and there are many rubs out there that can take care of that for you. If it is sweetness and over the top flavour you want than this is for you. The THT deliver in spades here.
Ingredients: Brown Sugar, Kosher Salt, Chili Powder, Black Pepper, Cayenne Pepper, Onion Powder, Spanish Paprika, Garlic Powder, Cinnamon
So far I have used this on some ribs. I put it in the tomato juice water as it was boiling and then gave the ribs a nice light coat of the rub. This has also become a new favorite on popcorn. The delicate balance of all the ingredients make this a top notch rub.
While it won’t replace all my rubs due to it being quite sweet it will find a permanent place in the kitchen.
Packaging 9/10 – Identity, Identity, Identity, these girls have done it
Aroma 9/10 – Sweet, aromatic, welcoming
Appearance 10/10 – desert like, fragile
Taste 9/10 – very sweet but appropriate – maybe a bit too much cinnamon
Heat 1/10 – No discernable heat
Overall 9.2/10 – Remarkable sweet rub for those who don’t want the heat

Great Review, congrats girls !!!! Later gang, off to work

Thanks so much for the great review Anthony! You must have had that bottle for a while now, we switched brands of brown sugar to avoid the clumping problem after the Fiery Foods Show in NM 2006.
My favorite way to use it is on tuna steaks! Thanks again for such a glowing review!
Tuna steaks was the first thing I had it on Jodie! It was delicious! I love it on Pork Chops, grilled shrimp, in my mashed potatoes, on salads, the list is endless!
Jodie, Kristi, Lisa, another great product from THT! Anthony, great review, and Jodie is right about the clumping. The first one I got clumped as well, but the latest one doesn’t do it.

Thanks DK, who is better then you?
I tried this stuff on pork chops on the grill and holy crap it was good. Great review-
This stuff is the Shiznit y’all. This combined with the Jersey Girl BBQ and the Garlic Lovers Steak sauce is a BBQer’s wettest dream come true. ![]()
It makes Uncle Big happy. Mrs. Uncle Big and I love the entire line. I can’t stop raving about it to customers in the store. It’s selling like wild fire and rightly so, it’s awesome.
Well done ladies, again and again and again!!

Well, Uncle Big just stomped my ass!
Thanks Jodie!
Uncle Big, I agree with everything you say, especially the part about loving the entire line. The Mango was the weak link for me until I had it on Oreo’s. Now, that’s the only way I will eat them. Can’t keep enough of the Mango on hand now. Guess I’ll need to order it by the gallon, or quit eating Oreo’s!
THT, Wooohooo! ![]()

DK, no ass stomping intended buddy boy!! LOL
I have to agree with the Jodster on this one. Quit eating Oreos?? NEVER!!
The Mango works wonders on ice cream as well dontchaknow.
I anxiously await their next product offering.

Great review, looks yummy…….
The only thing is the word Tuna mixed with the word Steak, thats like putting a fancy word at the end of Liver….lol

Good to hear from you, how was your Thanksgiving? Hope all is well with you and the Mrs.
I am doing well guys- been putting in some F’n crazy hours at work so I have not been on much.
Thanksgiving was good- very quick, Wendy was actually on call for the day and she had an alarm call, so we had to go in and check the building. So we did not have much down time, it’s all good though. ![]()

No special from us Blane, just trying to keep afloat as it is. We need to back down a little and not saturate the scene too much, but thank you for asking.

Maybe it’s just me but I wish some people would come out with a Holiday bottle…..Not to say names (FKS / AJ / Cape Fear / Wild Pepper / CaJohn / THT and Uncle Big ) I have Danny Cash Holiday already on the shelf and signed.

I totally agree with you there Blane. I believe Danny Cash and Crew have a holiday special on. But I think there is some more room from some our favourites sauce makers!
We have a Christmas set of Adam & Eve 100 ml. We are selling them at the shows we’re doing these last 3 and 2 more weekends. Didn’t know y’all would be interested. Just shoot me an email and I’ll give you the details. No inflated pricing, just a cool little set of 2. Headed off to bed, G’Night all!
