Texas-style brisket is whole packer brisket smoked low and slow over oak for 12 to 16 hours with a salt and pepper rub, sliced against the grain with a thick smoke ring.
Central Texas barbecue tradition arrived in Central Florida through chef John Rivers, who opened the first 4 Rivers Smokehouse in Winter Park in 2009 after years of catering brisket out of a Lake Mary garage. Within a decade the chain expanded across Florida and beyond, anchoring Orlando's craft-barbecue scene. The Florida heat and humidity require longer rests and water-pan smoking, but the canonical Central Texas brisket form holds: oak fire, simple rub, slow smoke and slicing pencil-thick across the grain. Pig Floyd's added a Latin spin in Mills 50.
