| The era was the 1940's. Texas Brothers started with a dream, as many small businesses did. Our dad, Harvey, owned and ran a service station and cafe called Cottage Kitchen in Dalhart, Texas. It was on Highway 87 South before Route 66 began the road to the West.
Our Uncle Butch Loftin worked at the Colorado Interstate Bus Station at this time. He was a great uncle as well as a great cook. We have to give credit |
to Butch for helping us along with choosing and mixing a dry rub rather that a barbeque sauce. Butch always said, "You don't put ketchup on prime rib or any other good piece of meat."
Barbeque done right does not need a sauce if you prepare it first with a combination of spices rubbed on the meat before cooking. The meat comes out with the true taste of barbeque.
