Smokemade Meats + Eats Opening Brick and Mortar

Award-winning Orlando BBQ establishment Smokemade Meats + Eats will soon open at 1400 S Crystal Lake Drive in Orlando’s Curry Ford West District.

WFTV reports that Smokemade will feature “a 1,000-gallon primitive pit smoker, where it will smoke brisket, ribs, pulled pork, turkey, scratch-made jalapeño -cheddar sausage and portobello mushrooms.”

The restaurant will offer diners “casual counter service indoors as well as on its covered patio. Takeout and whole meats to-go will also be available.”

“My parents own the building and our family’s construction company … has done the build out,” owner Tyler Brunache said in a prepared statement. “After starting Smokemade in Washington, D.C., in 2019, it was a good time to come back home to be with family and start our popups here in 2021. Family and friends have been so supportive over these past three years and can’t wait to see the restaurant open.”

With a soft opening set for March 22, it is not yet clear when the restaurant will swing into full operations.
