Review: Miley Brands Grill Rubs and Spices

The quintessential reason we hunt is for sustenance.  There are many other reasons and benefits but really the only reason you're able to sit there and read this article is someone years and years and even a few more years ago killed something and ate it.  The good news is whether we kill something or not, we're likely not to starve to death.  However, inside many of us, there is an urge to provide protein for ourselves, our families, and our friends.  In the spirit of just that you probably want it to taste good.  I actually do a ton of cooking around my house and most of it consists of wild game and veggies so I'm always on the lookout for something to give my culinary skills a boost.  Through my research along with some trial and error, I found Miley Brands Grill Rubs and Spices. Miley Brands offers four different types of seasonings; All-Purpose, Southwest, Beef, and Blackened.

I'll start off by saying they are all fantastic and you can't go wrong with any of them.  I actually had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Miley in detail about his seasonings, business, and life in general.  He turns out to be a very interesting man with an adventurous side.  I hope one day to perhaps even meet up with him to do some hunting or fishing.  But for now I'll just be satisfied enjoying his delicious seasonings!

Southwest

The Southwest was by far my favorite of the four offerings.  I can say I will have this spice in my cabinet at all times from this point forward.  My favorite use is on grilled vegetables.  Obviously our diets are huge in our overall health so I try and feed myself and family generous amounts of veggies whenever possible.  The Southwest seasoning goes perfect with any veggie from cauliflower, broccoli, eggplant, to asparagus.  It also goes great on any meat you wish to throw over a set of glowing embers as well.  I used it on deer, elk, chicken, wild hog, and even rubbed it all over my Thanksgiving turkey.  My pallet is not honed enough to give you a good breakdown of all the spices that you'll get hints of but maybe that's what makes it so great.  It doesn't have any one overpowering ingredient and even though you may associate Southwestern with spicy it is not.

Beef

If you're overwhelmed by the amount of rubs and spices available at the grocery store or you simply don't know where to start then definitely give Miley Brands a try.  I seriously love the Southwest and has become a staple in my household.  The Blackened is great when I break out the seafood and the beef is perfect on big chunks of red meat.  The All-Purpose is just that, good on anything.  Give them a shot, you won't be disappointed.
