Do you ever get that feeling you’re the last one on planet earth to find out? Find out that Pappy makes a fricken great out of the jar experience rub? I feel like a dope.
As with many of us food nutcases, I shop at many food related stores. And I find myself at our local Raley’s from time to time. I’d go to Safeway, but our demographics won’t allow it to be worth visiting. Unless all you need is vinegar or diapers. Anyway, I’ve been shopping at our local Raley’s since maybe 1991. And I remember seeing this rack of seafood spices and jars of glop since way back. Since I don’t pay much mind to ‘grocery store’ mass produced rubs and sauces, I passed it up, and over and up again.
I did until this last week. I decided to finally walk over and see what was in it. Kosher salt flakes, paprika, pepper, coriander, mustard, celery seed, garlic, onion and fine herbs. There’s nothing in there that sucks. Well, except the garlic, but that’s another rant of mine for another day. This stuff is good, very good. I’ve used it as a dry rub on meat and last night did stir fried onions over the grill (mesquite and hickory). Mama and I snarfed the onions before the burger! Well, at least I did anyway. Go Pappy go!
Turns out Pappy’s Choice Seasoning is only one of many fancy things they make. There’s a salt free one that I want too. This version with the salt flakes can get out of hand pretty quick if you don’t watch it. But if you do? You’ll most certainly be rewarded. I found it excellent on beef roasts, chickens, pork and veggeis. I would think the salt free version would be better for things like soups & stews where you more than likely have enough salt already and don’t need to be adding no more saline action.
I think next week I’ll place an order for some large containers of this stuff, yessir. Thanks Pappy for making such a nice off-the-shelf product and I apologize for blowing you off for so long. I’ll do better!

Okay, I admit it. I snarfed up the onions, too. They were divine. Ya know, that rub would be very good on eggplant. Mmmm, grilled eggplant. I’m gonna buy me some tomorrow.
I’m a little embarrassed to share this info, but Pappy’s is carried in industrial-sized shakers at Smart’n’Final.
Hey Carolyn,
Neat! There’s a store on my way home, I’ll have to go see. I’ve never been to a S&F store.
I hope they have the salt free one, that’s the one I’m looking for.
Biggles
Which Raley’s/S&F do you go to? Cant find it in the south bay.
Hey Farah,
Neat, I’ve never written to a Farah before.
I shop up here north in Richmond/El Sobrante Area Raley’s. I found it in an odd place, near the fresh seafood cooler. It was in a shelf next to it with seafood glop. It wasn’t with the other seasonings.
Keep looking. If it is in our local Raley’s, I’m darned sure it has to be somewhere around there.
Or do what I’m going to do, buy it from their web site, I put it in the post up there some place.
I can hardly wait to get the salt free stuff, it’s so good. And since it’s salt free, I can add all I want!

I am looking for Pappys seasoning in either Renton WA or Bellevue WA. Do you know what store may carry it? I need to find it by this weekend please!
Egads man, I just use it. I don’t have their reseller list. Try giving them a call at 559-291-0218 and ask them. Surely it has to be in your area!
Biggles
If you can not find Pappys in your area stores you can order it directly from the company at 559-291-0218, they ship via ups and you can order as little or as much as you like and any of their products
I got hooked on pappys while we lived in Porterville Ca. for a couple of years. We would visit there at least once a year since we moved back. And I would always pick up a large container. But we havn’t been back for 2 years. I can’t find it in any of the major stores in Oregon. I use it on all kinds of meats, veggies.It is great stuff
Hey Judy,
Call them up and place an order! Or ask if they have anyone directly near you. Don’t go without!

Best seasoning I ever used on my chicken can go wrong, try the rub on your ribs it killer
I’m looking for the 50% less salt seasoning. Found some on the web but it only came in 32oz bottles and as I am 88 I wouldn’t even but a dent in a bottle that big. Anyone have any suggestions. Harley T.
Hey Harley,
Ya know, I would give them a call at 559-291-0218 and tell them what you told us.
I’m 88 man! Gimme a break, I need a smaller container! I’ll bet they’d send it to you.
Biggles
Dr. Biggles: Thanks so much for the phone number and suggestion. The number on the bottle I had didn’t work as the area code had changed. Guess I’ve had this bottle too long. Anyway, I did as you suggested, they don’t have anyone near us who stocks Pappy’s, so the are mailing me a bottle. So I am all set, thanks to you and have a great day. Harley Thompson
SO HAS ANYONE FIGURED OUT IF THERE IS ANYWHERE AVAILABLE IN THE PORTLAND AREA TO PURCHASE PAPPYS
I live in San Diego, California. Where can I purchase Pappys
Hey Cristina,
I dunno, I would give them a call if’n I was you. Their link is in the post.

this is the best combination of seasoning I have ever used I moved from California to upstate New York do you ship to any stores out here I have used it for years my wife and kids refuse to eat meat without your seasoning or marinade so please tell me where I can purchase it . thank you
Pappy’s is made and distributed out of Fresno California. They have a web site with order form and all their products. You can order online I believe. Check it out, I’m from Fresno have been using Pappy’s all my lfe and found products I didn’t know they had. It’s some famous stuff!
I was introduced to Pappy’s Seasoning Rub while visiting my cousin in Las Vegas last week…I was only able to bring back 2 bottles..My cousin is diabetic and she swears by it..since I am a diabetic I now cook everything with it….please tell me where I can get this in Washington State…I live in the Seattle area….please help. Thank you in advance.
Ann
Papys is not available in any stores in the Washingtom or seattle area…..you can call them at 559-291-0218 and order it that way…One way to get it in your local stores is to ask the meat manager about ordering it for the store to carry it…….. But Pappys will allow you to rder as little or as much of their stuf by mail order just give them a call they will accomodate you!!!
I recently moved back from Yuba City Ca, I only lived there for about 6 months, but in that short amount of time, I happened upon Pappy’s while smoking some meat for my sister in-laws restaurant, and now that I am back home in Western KY I cannot find any??? Somebody please help?!?!?
Best sh!t on the planet!!
You can pretty much put this on anything and it will taste good.
I was recently seeing this girl when I noticed that her nana was a little on the overly ripped side, so I took a pinch of good ol pappy’s…..used it a dip replacement and let’s just say the tuna became into a nicely seasoned chicken boob!
Thanks pappy….are you the sh!t in more ways that one!!
I have been using Pappy’s for well over 10 years now and i must say i cannot eat pork chops without it. Love it Love it Love it.
does pappy’s rub have MSG in it?
We live in Stockton, California. Where can we purchase your seasonings and rubs around here. We bought a large amount about a year ago when we were in Squaw Valley, Ca. But are unable to find it around home. It was the best rub we have ever tried on our steaks for bar-b-q and other methods of cooking.
http://www.fresnobee.com/263/story/848554.html seems this guy wanted to eat these people with pappys seasonings
OMG… heh heh I’ve been using this stuff for years… I’ve used it for every type of meat and vegetable i know… Love Pork Chops with this on the grill same for chicken and several types of fish. One thing I love is when I fry chicken, instead of salt i add pappy;s to the flour mix when i bread the chicken… fries up so damn good… i just wish I could find it locally, Usually grandma sends me a couple big jars from northern Cali from Stater Bros for my bday or Christmas.
I found an online store that will sell you the large 32oz size container for $8.98 and ship it by UPS. For all of you that can’t find it locally, check them out! http://www.cashandcarrywarehouse.com. They are located in northern cal.
Pappy’s has a new website up, seems they take orders using paypal now, which is good since that’s how I like to shop. They even got full color pics and product information of there entire line. SWEET!
Check it out http://www.pappyschoice.com
You can also order Pappys from a store on Ebay called Grady Distribution. They offer bulk prices with lower shipping costs. If you order there bulk offer, you pay about $10 per bottle and that is with the shipping added in. I cannot find it cheaper then that anywhere else with shipping cost combined. I have checked everywhere online and best price for 5 32oz bottles is Ebay. They also offer a discounted price on the assortment 5 bottle package of Pappys for those of you looking for 50% less sodium or Lemon Pepper and other varieties. We love this stuff also, and we live in Illinois, so whenever we run low i order from Ebay. Here is the link too the store on Ebay.

If you want to go bulk, its cheaper to go with a bulk of 12 2lb bottles on the actual companies website http://www.pappyschoice.com/. 12 2lb bottles at $80.00, shipping included, comes out to about 6.70 per bottle.
You can find Pappy’s Choice Seasoning at Costco.
I picked up a 32OZ shaker of it for about $7 something, if my short-term memory serves me.
I finished rubbing some nice pork ribs with them several hours ago and plan on checking the results for dinner in a bit.
Costco also had another rub close to where I found Pappy’s. It is a Kansas City, Oklahoma or a sort of that neck of the woods rub for a few dollars more.
I checked the ingredients on both and went with Pappy’s on that.
