Creole Seasoning

From the Dinosaur Barbecue restaurant in Rochester. This seasoning will make whatever you rub it into earthy, spicy, and complex. But don't use it only on meat destined for barbecue; sprinkle it on anything you're grillin', including veggies. Mix it into breadcrumbs before coating food, or stir it into a casserole. It's a great flavor-boostin' agent.
