Oden's Kitchen

Cooking, and eating, has always been a passion of mine. Food brings people together in so many ways and is often the core of all social interactions. You can tell when a meal was thrown together quickly or when someone spills their heart and soul into it. 

Growing up, I always cooked and baked alongside my mom, and BBQ’d with my dad as often as I could. Why? Not because I was forced to, but because I loved it! I no longer live with mom and dad because I'm a grown-ass man and have my own family to feed. Now, with a wife and three kids, I force my cooking on them daily. So far they haven't complained.

One year during Christmas, our extended family hosted a DIY gift exchange. I took this opportunity to trial package an all-purpose rub that I had been using and slowly perfecting. I didn't anticipate the spark this would ignite which has lead to a small family business.

My goal here is to share my passion for food and cooking with you all by sharing my rubs, recipes and humor.
