Tom Perkins is proud to be offering mouth-watering smoked brisket from Royal Oak’s Holiday Market, the best he has found in Metro Detroit. His brisket is sure to fill a hole in the region’s barbecue repertoire, and those who appreciate the art of smoked meats can find something truly special here.
Chef Kirk Churchill’s Innovativeness
The deliciousness of the brisket is made possible by Chef Kirk Churchill, who just five years ago joined Holiday and has since been revamping the menu with his recipes. His contributions have transformed the market from a place to grab a smoked chicken for the week into a destination for real barbecue.
Recently, Churchill has taken his flavors to the next level after learning from a Michelin-starred chef about an ingredient he can rub onto the brisket for a deep richness. With careful experimentation, Churchill concocted the perfect recipe to tantalize the taste buds and proudly presented it to all who visit The Smokehouse.
His brisket is smoked for 14-16 hours, using Michigan hardwoods from a local tree guy, and he never deviates from traditional methods. He scours old church cookbooks and reads for recipes and tricks to perfect his flavors, so anyone can experience an elevated level of BBQ bliss.
Variety of Flavors
The Smokehouse offers an extensive menu of favorites, such as three types of ribs, and the baby back ribs are a delicious combination of smoky, sweet, and tangy. He also proudly serves his smoked chicken, rubbed with French’s yellow mustard and a signature pork rub the day before smoking for several hours to infuse flavor into the meat. Furthermore, his smoked chicken wings with a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce are a tantalizing option that rivals even his famous brisket.
Most everything is made from scratch, including the rich and flavorful mac and cheese. The mac and cheese comes coated with a layer of cheese and wet in a thick cheese sauce, and to further elevate its richness, Smokehouse purees and sautés onions and orange bell peppers. Even though not everything is made in-house, the queso and loaded baked potato tots are still popular dishes. Don’t forget to grab a jar of bread and butter pickles to accompany your meal!

With a savory brisket that will leave your mouth watering and a variety of cakes that could potentially stop your heart with their richness, it’s no surprise that Holiday Barbecue is one of the area’s best-kept secrets!
