minutesWe turned to our friends at Bad Byron’s to help us re-invent this childhood classic. Bad Byron’s Butt Rub has a funny name and some serious flavor. We jazzed up the tomato-rich sauce with this smoky grilling blend and loaded up buttery buns with the result. Feels like weeknight sitcoms, homework and nostalgia.
