Deep in a bank vault somewhere in the mid-west, there was a piece of paper with 13 common ingredients on it. If you mixed those items in just the right proportions under the proper conditions, you could create the world’s best pork loin rub recipe. Rumor had it that only one individual knew the exact formula from that piece of paper in that mysterious vault. That individual’s name was Don. Special undisclosed measures were taken to ensure the safety of Don, as if he were royalty. After many years of serving up the secret recipe to billions of people across the globe who came to experience the taste of this secret recipe, Don decided to share the secret recipe. No one knows why Don decided to share his secret recipe with the world. Some analysts have speculated that he was probably just getting tired of spending all of his time cooking for everyone, so he decided to share the secret recipe so that everyone could cook great tasting pork loins on their own. We managed to get a hold of Don’s secret recipe and we’re going to share it with you so that you can cook great tasting pork loins just like Don does.
