Wedged between a copy center and a pet store in a St. Louis strip mall, Sugarfire Smokehouse sprung from humble beginnings and big dreams. But when it came to sharing the magic of Missouri’s barbeque with the rest of America, location was only an address. Since 2012, co-owners Mike Johnson and Carolyn Downs led a delicious expedition through their favorite cities, leaving mouth-watering meals in their wake. Now, with 14 locations, Sugarfire Smokehouse has made light work of their big dream–“spreading the gospel of smoked meat across the nation.”
