Get Saucy in The Shed at Dallas Farmers Market | Texas BBQ Sauces, Rubs & Memorial Day Grilling

Barbecue sauces, seasonings, and rubs trace back to Caribbean and African influences, but it was when they arrived on Texas shores that those flavors really got cooking, layered with cumin and chili powder inspired by Mexican and Latin traditions, and crafted to enhance smoked meats rather than overpower them. With National Barbecue Day on Saturday, May 16, and Memorial Day grilling right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to spice up this weekend with a visit to the Dallas Farmers Market.
