Korean BBQ is taking off on social media, and RubRub is on a mission to bring restaurant-quality Korean BBQ flavors to a new generation of home cooks with its premium, vegan, shelf-stable rubs. "RubRub seasons like a spice and finishes like a sauce," said Michael Pyon, chef and co-founder, "You just coat your favorite protein or vegetable of choice, add a little oil, and grill, sear, or air fry. It works on everything, and caramelizes in minutes." Soon, an all-new Yuzu Blend is set to join RubRub's Spicy Blend with cayenne and a hint of habanero, and its Original Blend a mildly sweet essence, a kick from garlic, and umami richness.
To celebrate its launch, RubRub teamed up with Croft Alley in Beverly Hills to create the exclusive, smoky and sweet Korean BBQ Breakfast Burrito.
