About Uncle Rick
When Uncle Rick is asked how Uncle Rick’s Secret Recipe began his reply is this. I began my seasoning adventure around 2011 when I wanted to smoke up some baby back ribs. After trying some of the store-bought seasonings, I decided to create my own blend. He continued on by saying my love of cooking, especially BBQ, was worth the hours spent watching over the BBQ pit. The pit actually consisted of a rectangle charcoal grill. Not ideal for maintaining good temperature control due to the air leaks around the lid. But by having the ribs over a pan of water and indirect heat he made some very tasty ribs. Ribs, however, wasn’t the only item Uncle Rick liked his seasoning on. Burgers, chicken, turkey, venison and veggies were all on the menu. His wife, of now over 35 years, loves to use the Original #29 on bacon. Uncle Rick has since expanded his arsenal of grills & smokers to allow for a better cooking experience. And there you have it, Uncle Rick said, that’s how Uncle Rick’s Secret Recipe began! Then after a pause, Uncle Rick said “Hold on now, you asked me how Uncle Rick’s Secret Recipe began.” Well now, we have to go back several years.” You see Uncle Rick & his wife love spending time with family, especially their five nephews. Having them over night and cooking for them was always a blast. One morning he asked the nephews what they wanted for breakfast. Hands down, it was unanimous, PANCAKES! And pancakes it was. While cooking and eating those amazing pancakes one nephew said; “Uncle Rick, you make the best pancakes, what do you put in them to make them so good?” His reply was “Oh, you mean what do I put in Uncle Rick’s Secret Recipe pancakes!” And there you have it!
