Where can I buy gourmet marinades? (closing, bill, Whole Foods)

[BenBermuda]

I'm making a gift basket that includes - a marinade injector and german beer. I would also like to include two bottles of gourmet quality marinade and two jars of rub. Where can I buy these items. This is a gift basket for a guy. Any ideas?

bbqs galore in norwalk or santa fe springs has a pretty decent section of marinades and rub. i heard they're closing soon, so maybe u can get a deal

Trader Joes?

Whole Foods, Cooke's Market, Bristol Farms. With that said, great rubs are really simple to make and far better than packaged ones. Your male friend may appreciate your gift even more if you make, bottle and label the rubs. You could do the same with marinades.

You might include a cook book. Two of my favorites are: Smoke & Spice- Cooking with Smoke, the Real Way to Barbecue (Cheryl and Bill Jamison) and The Barbecue! Bible (Steven Raichlen). Both have some great tips, techniques and recipes.

Great ideas! I think I may make the rubs myself since I purchsed two small glass jars in Munich last year that have the blue and white flag design on the tops. I haven't found a use for them and I think this it - and it work well with the German beer.
