Rowdydow bbQ

ROWDYDOW bbQ WorldWide, LLC, is a fast growing food company born from a single family recipe, on a mission to take ‘BBQ Beyond the Backyard’ and into a lifestyle brand while innovating this beloved American tradition. ROWDYDOW bbQ specializes in celebrating the culinary act of using real wood, real fire and real smoke to make authentically smoked BBQ meats like pulled pork and brisket for both the foodservice and retail markets. Being socially and health conscious, ROWDYDOW’s pulled pork line up is made from hogs raised on family owned farms and anti-biotic free, and its rub and sauce are made with simple ingredients you can pronounce.

Angela Keaveny’s ‘rowdydow’ inspiration for starting her own business was like a lightning bolt from above – an ‘a-ha!’ – when she realized her Dad’s infamous pulled pork in a sweet vinegar barbeque sauce should be shared with the rest of the BBQ lovin’ world! In 2007, after a move to Chicago from her home in Virginia – armed with nothing but a handwritten recipe – she decided to take a chance and bring the “back home” barbeque recipe to life. The rest is her 7-year “overnight” success story, now over a decade in the making.
