Smōk • Denver’s Top
BBQ

Recommended in the Michelin Guide

Smōk Denver elevates pan-regional barbecue with a refined palate, earning its place as a MICHELIN Guide selection. Chef Bill Espiricueta, an Austin native, masterfully deploys a Southern Pride smoker, infusing meats with a subtle, savory aroma from red and white oak. The succulent brisket, often lauded for its tender, fatty-lean composition, showcases an 18-hour, low-and-slow technique, yielding a deeply flavorful, juicy interior with a lacquered crust. Beyond the classic, the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich offers balanced heat and a crisp texture, while house-made jalapeño cheddar sausages burst with molten cheese. Sides like the creamy, smoked chile-kissed corn and popcorn-sized fried okra, presenting a delightful smooth-and-crunchy interplay, further underscore a commitment to nuanced, forthright flavors. This culinary approach, blending traditional pit-style methods with untraditional Asian elements, creates a distinctive and memorable tasting journey.
