Fire Up the Flavor: Artisan BBQ Finds in This Month’s Foodie Box Love
Summer isn’t just for grilling — it’s for making memories. And nothing takes your cookout to the next level like artisan BBQ rubs, small-batch sauces, and gourmet grilling gifts that surprise and delight every guest.
At Foodie Box Love, we curate the best artisan food subscription boxes featuring unique, hard-to-find flavors from passionate makers across the country. This month, our BBQ collection brings together bold rubs, tangy mustards, and umami-packed sauces that will make your backyard feast unforgettable.
Here’s what’s sizzling inside:
🔥 PS Seasoning – Bold Flavors Since 1977
As a third-generation, family-owned business, PS Seasoning has built its reputation on crafting seasonings that transform everyday meals into experiences.
Big Dill Pale Ale Mustard - A tangy, dill-forward mustard with a hint of ale. Perfect for burgers, bratwursts, or as a dip for pretzels. (Hot tip: try it in potato salad for a gourmet twist.)
Honky Tonk Hot Chicken Rub – Bring the Nashville heat to your next cookout. This artisan BBQ rub makes wings, ribs, and fried chicken sing with spicy, savory flavor.
✨ Pro Tip: Apply generously and let the seasoning rest before cooking so the flavors soak in deep.
🌴 Gustus Vitae – Small Batch, Big Flavor
From humble beginnings at a Venice Beach farmers market, Gustus Vitae has become known for their handcrafted seasonings and gourmet salts packed in signature magnetic tins. Always sustainably sourced, always made in small batches.
South Pacific Seasoning - Coconut, pineapple, and lime transport you straight to the tropics. This versatile blend elevates seafood, chicken, salads, and even fruit for that perfect summer kick.
🏙️ Oakland Dust – The Hot One
Oakland native Lloyd Ross grew up with BBQ in his veins — and smoke on his lips. Inspired by Sundays at Flint’s BBQ in the Bay Area, he founded Oakland Dust to capture the soulful, smoky flavors of his childhood.
The One Hot BBQ Sauce - This Texas-style BBQ sauce is named The One for good reason. There’s nothing it ain’t good on. This is a spicy take on the original "The One".
