Do you like to put a rub on your meats before cooking or are you just a salt and pepper seasoning kind of cook?

I use rubs but I am getting sick of them, might switch to salt & pepper & let the meat shine.

It really varies.  For brisket, ribs or pulled pork I use a rub.  For almost anything else it depends on my mood at that time. Sometimes it's S&P, sometimes another kind of seasoning.

Very seldom do the same thing twice in a row.

I have a shaker that's 50/50 Kosher salt and coarse black pepper.
That's my go-to for beef.

 For pork & chicken I like to play around with some seasoning/rubs.

  • Contrary to popular belief, bacon is a vegetable

This has always puzzled me. I guess it depends on what 'coarse' means. Seems to me that what I consider 'coarse' would lag far behind the salt output in a shaker.

I dunno Bobo. Penzeys writes this -
Indian Black Tellicherry. Our ground pepper is the finest in the nation. Pure premium grade peppercorns, ground often to ensure freshness. The pepper is sifted to four popular sizes, from a fine shaker grind to large coarse chunks, suitable to meet every need. Mesh is a term that refers to the number of openings per linear inch in a sifting screen. A fine grind, such as a 30/60 mesh, would sift through a screen with 30 openings per inch, but would stay atop a smaller screen of 60 openings per inch.

I have never used just salt and pepper and I am not too big a fan of having the same flavor all of the time

For beef its salt and pepper.  For chicken and pork it's a rub on there own for me it's a little bland without some flavor enhancement.
