BIG SMOKERS

The 28 Best Restaurants in Prague, Czech Republic | Eater

"American barbecue is not a common sight in Central Europe, but co-owners Silva Jackson and Tomáš Oujezdský come to it naturally. Chef Jackson spent years cooking barbecue in Florida and Texas, while Oujezdský has a knack for making sausage, all of which has helped make this Texas-style barbecue spot a hot ticket in town. The casual eatery is always bustling during lunch, often with a line trailing out the door, and evenings aren’t much different. Grab a tray and stack it with meaty options like smoked sausage, beef ribs, and tender brisket, along with creamy potato salad and spicy dill pickles, which offer the perfect crunch and great spicy-to-sour balance. The restaurant sources many cuts from Amaso, the butchery business operated by the Ambiente hospitality group, while pint glasses, in place of Czech-style beer mugs, help complete the Americana vibe." - Dan Clapson
