America 250 Celebrates Bear Creek Smokehouse

Watch Our Interview With Chef Robbie Bear Creek Smokehouse, from the beautiful East Texas Piney Woods,  Bear Creek Smokehouse along scenic State Highway 154.  This story began in 1943, as the dream of our founders- Hick and Nellie Shoults.  The Shoults couple began raising and smoking turkeys on the family farm to provide a means of income.  Four generations and 80 years later, the little smokehouse has grown from its humble start with a great  reputation.
