If you don’t season your food it is simply not going to taste good.

Salt brings out the natural flavors of whatever food you are putting it on. This is how I season my ribs. Notice I do not rub the seasoning into my meat, I tried it a few times and realized that I ended up with more seasoning on my hands then what ended up on the meat. I also do not use a binder, I’ve never had a problem having my seasoning stick to my meat and you don’t get any flavor from whatever type of binder that you use.
