THE STORY BEHIND

THE COUNTER

MEET OUR FOUNDER,

JASON ODELL

Growing up in Northern California, Jason Odell knows what it takes to make world-class barbecue. Inspired by quality craftsmanship and his love for the great outdoors, Jason began experimenting with live-fire, old-world cooking methods on a quest to develop the perfect method for smoking meats. Over time, he began to design and build his own custom equipment to smoke beef, pork and chicken to fall-off-the-bone perfection. When it comes to his approach, Jason says “Most of our food is created by feeling. Every decision is made from decades of experience.” From Texas to Kansas City and beyond, Jason has travelled around the country in pursuit of age-old secrets and homegrown methods for preparing legendary barbecue. What drives his crazy pursuit of excellence, you might ask? That moment when someone takes one bite and a spark fills their eyes with pure delight.

MAKING MEMORIES

AROUND THE TABLE

“I didn’t know food could taste this good.” We hear this time and time again after catering parties and events. From weddings and corporate gatherings to ranch-style dinners and birthday parties, we know what it takes to plan a great event.

Beyond the barbecue, one of our greatest passions in life is creating an atmosphere where memories are made around the table. From the way that we work together to design a menu for your event to the way that our team hosts your guests behind the buffet, our team takes pride in our authentic approach to hospitality. If you’re interesting in bringing Odell Craft Barbecue to your event, we would love to work with you to create an unforgettable experience.

ABOUT OUR BARBECUE STYLE

At Odell Craft Barbecue, we like to say that we cook Texas-style barbecue with California-inspired craftsmanship. All of our meats are prepared in a custom-built smoker over a live fire that we keep running through the night. We bring together the best techniques in the business to create a product with mouthwatering flavors that you’ll have to taste to believe.
