🔥 Meet JJ & Ricky! 🔥
AKA… the muscle behind the Fork & Flame shenanigans.
We may come up with the ideas, but these are the two guys who somehow get volunteered to build it, load it, move it, fix it, haul it, and figure out how to make it happen. And truthfully, we couldn't do what we do without them!
🔨 Meet JJ, AKA Dad
JJ is our resident builder, loader, mover, fixer, and pretty much anything else that involves muscle or tools. If we've dreamed it up, there's a pretty good chance we've eventually looked at Dad and said, “Soooo…do you think you could build this?” 😂
His favorite Fork & Flame food is our Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich from the food truck. 🔥
A fun fact about JJ? He has an almost photographic memory. He knows where EVERYTHING is, where it belongs, and most importantly, he WILL notice when something is missing. 👀
His biggest kitchen pet peeve? Dirty shelves. Apparently, clean counters aren't enough around here. The shelves better be clean too. 😂
🍺 Meet Ricky, The Right-Hand Man
Where you find JJ, there's a pretty good chance Ricky isn't far behind! He's always willing to jump in wherever we need him. On any given day, he might be loading a trailer, moving dish carts, shucking corn, helping Dad build our latest crazy creation, or doing anything and everything in between.
His favorite Fork & Flame food is ALSO our Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich…although in the interest of full disclosure, he admits it's the only thing he's actually tried.
Fun fact about Ricky? He likes beer. 🍺 That's it. That's the fun fact. 😂And his biggest pet peeve? JJ.
But here's the thing…JJ and Ricky aren't just two guys who work together. They're friends, they're family, and they're the backbone behind so much of what we do. ❤️
Behind every beautiful grazing table, catered event, food truck setup, and crazy new idea are two guys who have probably loaded it, unloaded it, built something for it, fixed something that broke, or heard the words, “We need you guys to do something…”
Without these two working so hard behind the scenes to help make our dreams come true, we honestly don't know where we'd be.They may not always be the faces you see at an event, but they are without a doubt two of the greatest assets to our Fork & Flame family. 🔥
