Where Smoke Meets Sass.

The Grumpy Old Bastards blend isn’t here to please everyone—it’s here to make everything taste better. Equal parts smoky, earthy, salty, and sharp-tongued, this robust seasoning carries the soul of a decades-seasoned cast iron pan and the spirit of someone who tells it like it is.

Whether you’re grilling ribs, roasting chicken thighs, or making veggies taste like they were cooked in a log cabin by a man named Hank, this is your go-to rub for adding bark, backbone, and brilliance.

🌿 Ingredient Highlights:

• Charred Sage – woodsy and deep, like wisdom from someone who’s been through some things

• Smoked Paprika – smooth smoke, no fire, all character

• Cracked Black Pepper – punchy, persistent, and never backs down

• Roasted Garlic Powder – slow-cooked richness and grizzled charm

• Thyme & Rosemary – for that classic herbed undertone of old-world kitchens

• Bold Cumin – an edge of defiant warmth

• Sea Salt & Dark Brown Sugar – balance, grit, and just a hint of sentiment
