I was watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives episode on Kansas City BBQ and I saw this rub that includes ground celery seeds. I like the flavour of celery seeds in my Memphis Coleslaw recipe, so I thought I'd make a batch of rub to see what it tastes like.
Ingredients
- 3 parts paprika
- 1 part salt
- 2 parts ground black pepper
- 2 parts sugar
- 2 parts garlic salt
- 1 part onion powder
- 1 part ground celery seeds
Method
- Combine all ingredients and store in a jar..
Why do most Americans use garlic powder, it has a cloying aftertaste and is not to my liking?
Diners, Drive Ins and Dives featured it a lot, and so did Man V Food.

Hi James!
It certainly has a different taste to fresh garlic. It has a 'not-quite-garlic' smell and I don't think it's a straight substitute for the fresh stuff.
I primarily use garlic powder in dry rubs which, by their nature, need to be dry. I get through quite a lot of it, to be honest.
