Jody Flanagan

For Jody Flanagan, food is so much more than survival fuel, it’s a creative outlet and a way to connect. With over 10 years working every job in the food industry under his belt, Jody has his role as recteq’s resident BBQ Dad down pat. At recteq, you’ll find him creating new recipes, sharing tips with recteq fans, and proclaiming the recteq story at home, on the road, and via live shows. Besides making a mean chicken wing, he claims the 2018 World Grand Champion title from the Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the surprising title of 2017 Columbia County Men’s Softball Champion (Pub Cubs). When he’s not smoking the most delicious food imaginable on his recteq, Jody’s probably at home trying to get his kids to eat more food and clean up their toys.
