Michael Letchworth has opinions about tailgating. After all, the business partner at Sam Jones BBQ has been to his share game-day festivities and outdoor cookouts in eastern North Carolina. His three rules: Plan ahead, don’t overdo the menu, and it’s alright to cut corners sometimes. His super simple pork tenderloin recipe follows all of these rules. Using Sam Jones BBQ Rub Potion No. Swine keeps the ingredients list to two items—pork and the rub. Its simplicity makes it easy pull off while tailgating before the game. However, if you want to prep in advance, you can grill or smoke the meat the evening before, and then warm it over the grill before it’s time to serve.
