I don't really consider a lot of seasonings a crutch, but I do feel that too
many seasonings, especially on pork, overwhelm the natural flavor of the
meat. I still put on a small amount of rub sometimes (salt, pepper, paprika,
garlic powder, onion powder), but mostly I just use a little kosher salt and
fresh ground pepper these days... Then again, I've only been doing this now
for a couple of years. :-)

OT: Yesterday I tried some BBQ at a local place that I'd seen, but not been
to. Their sides were pretty good, but my BBQ is *way* better than theirs:

I'll give them a try on a different day and a different time, maybe I just
hit them on a bad day...It wasn't bad, just more that it was "ho hum",
almost like it was designed to be a vehicle for their sauce.
