Bringing California Flavors to the World of Barbecue

After thirty years of barbecuing for friends and family, James Hare was not satisfied with commercial BBQ rubs. He set out to make his own, with a unique flavor that complements meat, but does not overpower it.

Cucamonga Cattle Company, led by James, is now a competition BBQ team. Look for them participating in competitions showcasing their BBQ rubs and sauces. Also a Kansas City Barbeque Society judge, James is continuing to develop new flavor profiles for his rubs and sauces.
