Several months ago I offered Chef Scotty’s special naughty rub to anyone who would use the rub and then send me the recipe and a picture of their delicious creation.  Jim and Lori Rogers were excited to participate in this request.  They use Chef Scotty’s rub frequently and said everything they cook turns out fantastic. 

Matter of fact, next week you will see another Rogers’ creation in this column.  By the way, it’s not too late to get a bottle of the rub and participate in this challenge.
