Smolik’s Smokehouse

The Smoliks are no doubt an important family in the history of Texas barbecue. A big part of that history revolves around the family’s Czech sausage recipe, and there’s a reason. It’s fantastic. Beef and pork is mixed with black pepper and plenty of garlic, then smoked over hickory. The casing have a great snap and the links are ridiculously juicy without being oily. Over a century of sausage makers in the family will get you results like this. And what, in particular, made this a Czech a sausage? “A Czech made it,” the staff replied.
