http://www.rubbbq.net/ might be the official website, but its unclear, and in any case, no information is up yet.
A blurb from New York Mag about R.U.B.:
"A collaboration between Paul Kirk, who is, apparently, the Lance Armstrong of the competition-barbecue circuit—although, in person, he more closely resembles Wilford Brimley—and Andrew Fischel, a ’cue-crazed tech-world dropout from Roslyn."
- Daisy May's BBQ USA
Blurb from New York Mag:
"decent pulled-pork sandwich and beef short ribs as big as cricket bats, but the real surprises are sides like mashed sweet potatoes folded with vanilla cream, and thick baked beans with burnt ends"
