Smoke & Donuts BBQ joined the Orlando-area MICHELIN Guide recommended list in 2026. Located at 601 N. Primrose Dr. in Orlando, the restaurant describes its approach as “collision cuisine,” combining smoke and fire with global flavors, local produce, traditional preservation, fermentation and thoughtful ingredient use.

What collision cuisine means here

Rather than aligning exclusively with one regional barbecue tradition, Smoke & Donuts uses smoked food as the foundation for a broader range of flavors and techniques. Its stated philosophy incorporates produce, preservation and fermentation alongside smoke and fire.

The clearest dish examples come from the catering menu. Chicken may be finished with a Kansas City, Alabama or bourbon “food court” glaze. Maple-soy-vinegar Brussels sprouts apply the same mix-and-match approach to a vegetable side.

How to plan a catering order

The catering menu lists smoked prime brisket, pulled pork, chicken, turkey and pork belly. Start by selecting the meats that suit the group, then consider one of the three listed finishes if ordering chicken. Maple-soy-vinegar Brussels sprouts provide a side that reflects the restaurant’s collision-cuisine style.

These choices are specifically associated with catering. Confirm current availability and ordering details with the restaurant before finalizing a menu.
