Rippy's BBQ of Nashville

[printersdevil78]

OK, I think this is about as random as this board will ever get: Earlier this summer, the not-for-profit organization over which I preside cooked about 2,000 barbecued chicken dinners as part of a two-day fundraiser. The original plan was to celebrate at the end of the second day by throwing a few racks of ribs on the charcoal pit, as well, but we were all so tired that we ended up forgoing that idea.

 

One of my vice presidents had brought in a special rub for the occasion that he had bought at Rippy's BBQ while on vacation in Nashville. Unfortunately, when the rib idea was scuttled, someone accidentally threw the rub away. He tried to act like it wasn't a big deal, but we could tell he was upset.

 

Flash forward seven months, and we're at the end of our 2008 board of directors term as of midnight December 31. I'll be continuing on next year as chairman, but this will be his last year on the board. It's tradition for the president to present all of his/her vice presidents and directors with a meaningful gift at the end of the year. I would like to find a container of Rippy's BBQ rub for this vice president's gift, but as far as I can tell, Rippy's doesn't have a website.

 

I've tried eBay with no luck, so I'm reaching out to the message boards to which I belong. I know I have some fellow foodies on here. Does anyone on TPR happen to know any place I might be able to find Rippy's BBQ rub online?

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Not sure, really. I know it was part of a larger overall vacation that included parts of Kentucky, Tennessee and possibly other states. He drove down to meet up with his girlfriend, who was there as part of a church function, on New Year's Eve and proposed to her during the trip. I was in the wedding eight months later.

 

Thanks for your help!

As a Nashvillian, I think this is what you are looking for: Rippy's

 

It's downtown in the heart of the entertainmnt district and most likely where your boss went. That website link has their phone number listed so you may be able to order the BBQ rub straight from them. Hope that helps!
