Christopher B. "Stubb" Stubblefield

He later served in the United States Army during the Korean War, where after being injured, he moved to the mess hall where he prepared meals for soldiers.

In the 1970s and early 1980s, Sunday night jam sessions held in his small restaurant hosted such musicians as Terry Allen, Johnny Cash, Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Tom T. Hall, B.B.

King, Willie Nelson, Jessie "Guitar" Taylor, George Thorogood, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Muddy Waters, as well as such regulars as Dee Purkeypile who played the B3 and was the leader of the house band that hosted the jam sessions, Smokey Joe Miller, and others.

He maintained an atmosphere that was loose and much like a family, that included such regulars as his cousin, one-armed war veteran Elias "Cuz" Sabders and a little person known as Little Pete.

Business was restricted by limited seating and its distance from the college neighborhoods that provided the bulk of its potential patrons.

In 1990, Stubblefield set up Stubb's Legendary Kitchen with partners to sell barbecue sauce at grocery stores.

A memorial to Stubblefield was realized in 1999 when a bronze statue by his friend Terry Allen was dedicated on the site of his first restaurant.

Small plaques are set into what remains of the floor of the restaurant showing the locations of the kitchen, cash register, restrooms, etc.

Stubb's has hosted musicians James Brown, Bob Dylan, Snoop Dogg, Foo Fighters, Loretta Lynn, Cold War Kids, Metallica, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Blondie, Devo, G. Love & Special Sauce, The Bright Light Social Hour, R.E.M., and Ween (Live at Stubb's) in '03, along with many others.

It hosted Austin's Spoon (band) in '03 as part of SXSW, San Antonio's Butthole Surfers in '08, and Houston's Blue October (Live at Stubb's) in '07.

As described by Stubb to jam regular Trey Yancy (who built the stage, lights, and sign) he used Hunt's original sauce, adding brine from dill pickles and jalapeños to taste.
