I have been to RUB about a half dozen times. It’s in the 1800 block of South Light Street, almost to I-95.

Mike, from Blue Agave, and Dave from Austin are the proprietors. With an Austin pedigree, the sliced brisket is about as good as you will find in Baltimore. The sides are credible too. Sliced brisket is my favorite kind of bar-b-que. Thankfully I’ll be in Texas for a week at the end of the month.
