To Settle A Legal Beef, Stubb's Agrees To Change Its Name

[TexasTowelie]

AUSTIN -- Two companies, both using the name Stubb's, have reached an agreement to settle a trademark dispute. It means the restaurant and live music venue called Stubb's will have to change its name.

One World Foods, which makes Stubb’s brand barbecue sauces and rubs, says Stubb’s Austin Restaurant Co. has agreed to give up the name. The restaurant and live music venue will continue to operate under some other moniker.

One World Foods plans to open its own restaurant with the name Stubb’s sometime in the future.

The name originated with C.B. Stubblefield, a cook and founder of Stubb’s products. Jennifer Barr, business director of One World Foods and Stubb's Products, says Stubblefield "loved making food, especially authentic Texas barbecue. He wanted the flavors he created to bring love and happiness to people’s lives, and our aim is to follow that lead. We’re proud to have C.B. Stubblefield’s grandsons on our team to continue that mission, and we’re confident many, many more people will love the Stubb’s family of products.”

1. I love Stubbs BBQ sauces but it's a crazy price to get them

Shipped to Ireland. I usually have to depend on family bringing some over, and then use them sparingly.

2. Stubb's is the only BBQ sauce I've purchased for years.

That said, I rarely use it because we mainly BBQ burgers, steaks and hot dogs, and there's no reason to add BBQ sauce to those meats. I rarely BBQ chicken because it's a PITA.
