Vent: Dry rub sugar habit broken by a pitmaster's tip
I always put sugar in my dry rubs for bark. A pitmaster used just salt and pepper, and the taste was much cleaner. Now I skip the sugar every time.

Truth. Salt and pepper is the classic move.

Actually, the reason salt and pepper work so well is they don't add their own flavor, they just wake up what's already there. A lot of other spices just cover up the taste of the food itself.

Admit, @ericj45 is totally right about salt and pepper being the classic move. Honestly, it's the basic pair that works on literally everything. Tbh, I watch people use fancy garlic powder or smoked paprika and act like they invented cooking. But ngl, all those extra seasonings can sometimes mess up a good thing. Salt and pepper just enhance the food without trying too hard. So yeah, call me boring, but that combo will always be the best.
