    Have yet to, but the coffee infusion has always intrigued me. It's DP so it can't be bad, right?

    It is awesome on steak,chicken or turkey. I have even put it on a chuckie that was going to be pulled. It is similar to @mickey coffee rub.

    Actually just used some this wk-end on a pork tenderloin.  It was good and would try again but don't think it's one of DP's best.  Everyone has a different opinion on rubs thou.  My wife wasn't a huge fan.

    It is awesome. One of the best runs I've ever had on a steak.

    Red Eye is absolute "killer" on ABTs and Fatties. I wouldn't use anything else!

    I bought a fresh bottle of it.  Tried it in the store last week and loved it on a spoon, but have yet to cook with it.

    I use it often and really like it. When I have time I make my own Espresso-cocoa rub.

    Here's my recipe;

    1 Tbs. finely ground espresso coffee beans 
    1 Tbs. pure ancho chile powder 
    1 tsp. natural cocoa powder 
    1 tsp. granulated garlic 
    1/2 tsp. ground cumin 
    1/2 tsp. brown sugar 
    1/2 tsp. ground fennel seed 
    1/8 tsp. ground allspice 
    4 tsp. kosher salt 
    2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

    We love it. We go through quarts of it. I use it on chicken, steak, and venison. 

    I grilled chicken last night, and my son freaked when I got home from work tonight because he didn't think we had enough for tonight's ribeyes! 

    We made it, but I am out. Will be ordering more tomorrow!

    I got a bottle of the RED EYE but I haven't really found a great fit for it yet.  Put it on a pork tenderloin and on a steak it was decent but didnt stand out to me like some of the other DP rubs.  Personally, I wish it had a deeper coffee flavor.  

    I see recommendations for it used on ABTs, Fattys, Chicken, Burgers so I will keep trying!

    I have used it on beef and venison and love it!

    Does anybody have an opinion on how it stacks up against Mickeys Coffee Rub?

    It is killer on briskets as well. Just try it and you will thank me later. I coat my briskets with woestecshire sauce, and then coat heavily with DP red eye express. Wrap in plastic and leave in fridge 4-6 hours, or overnight is even better. Turns out great every time.
