MOVING TO AUSTIN

In 1985 a series of circumstances forced Stubb to close his beloved
restaurant. "Let’s put it this way," said Stubb, "I got run out of Lubbock ‘cause I was broke, busted and disgusted. I can’t fight the IRS with barbecue and sauce." With his restaurant closed, Stubb decided to move to Austin and began selling his barbecue out of Antone’s, a blues club near the University of Texas, and in 1986 opened his second restaurant, Stubb’s Bar-B-Q. There he revived the Lubbock tradition of jam sessions that featured such musicians as Ely, Butch Hancock and The Maines Brothers. Stubb’s Bar-B-Q is still alive and well in Austin, Texas, featuring barbecue, cold beer and live music.

LEGENDARY KITCHEN

Stubb’s fame soon spread, highlighted in 1992, when he appeared on Late Night with David Letterman where he demonstrated the art of barbecuing and feeding a large audience. Letterman asked Stubb what was in his sauce and he replied, "Love and Happiness." In addition to Letterman, Stubb has served a host of celebrities, including President Jimmy Carter and HRH Elizabeth, Queen of England.

Stubb would gladly give his recipe away to anyone who asked. "The recipe alone is just words on paper and that won’t do it." Stubb got so many requests that he used his same love for cooking to develop a full line of products which are solely dedicated to preserving the tradition and art of barbecuing. Named Stubb’s Legendary Kitchen, these products empower the backyard chef with all of Stubb’s sauces and special spices.
