2 spots
4 Rivers Smokehouse (Winter Park)
Where 4 Rivers was born: John Rivers left a healthcare career, started with a 2004 charity cookout he called the Barbecue Ministry, and flipped the Hot Brisket Now sign on Fairbanks Avenue in 2009. Now a 16-store group, still family owned, with vegan burnt ends and a kids menu.
Pannullo's
Owned and hosted by Michael Schwartz and Richard Pannullo since March 1993, facing Winter Park's Central Park, which explains the motto: the only thing we overlook is the park. Grandma-style meatballs and Chef Pannullo's own cheesecake.
