Fat Cats BBQ Rubs

09/17/2026

These Ribs were made with Fat Cats "Sweet Victory" Rub....this rub was designed to give an incredible red color that makes the Ribs POP....took a long time to get the right amounts of ingredients to produce not only a Flavorful Rib (Or any pork) but give a great color....without burning during the cook process....many rubs today burn because they put too much or the wrong kinds of ingredients into the rubs...this can create Burning..different ingredients have different burn points...Fat Cats Keeps that in mind...Sometimes it is not about what is in the Rub...but more importantly...what is not. 🤘

Today we're celebrating the American way... firing up the grill, eating way too much BBQ, pretending calories don't count, and arguing over who burnt the hot dogs. 🌭😂
Fat Cats hopes your day is filled with great food, good friends, family, freedom, and plenty of laughter.
Have a safe, fun, and delicious Independence Day!
🇺🇸 Happy Birthday, America! 🎆

Tommorow at the Dubuque Farmers' Market you can find Fat Cats near the corner of 12th and Iowa Street...stall D17. Just on the side of Birdies Bistro. Looks like we will have clear skies in the morning for market until the storm rolls in later saturday evening....come on down and grab some flavor for the cookout before the clouds do! 🌩⛈️

🌞 Fat Cats BBQ Fun Fact! 🌞

Ever notice an old bottle of seasoning looking like it just survived a 3-month vacation in Florida?

Direct sunlight and UV lighting (including some lights used in grocery stores) can pull color from spices and seasonings. Ingredients like paprika, chili powder, and other colorful spices are especially prone to fading when exposed to light for long periods.
While faded color doesn't always mean the seasoning has gone bad, it can be a sign that the spices are losing some of their freshness and potency.

Here are a few Quick tips to help prevent that!

✅ Store your seasonings in a cool, dry place. ✅ Keep them away from direct sunlight...and keep bottles inside a cabinet as much as possible.

REMEMBER. If your seasoning is darker than your brisket, smoke the brisket more. If your brisket is darker than your seasoning, hide the seasoning from the sun.😂🔥

Grill the burgers.Smoke the ribs.Burn the hot dogs.Tell everyone “these are almost done” for 3 straight hours...But most of all...Take it easy.. 🔥🍔🍖

Oh...

And don’t forget the Fat Cats! 🤙
