Episode 14: “Food, Family, Faith and Why They Matter So Much” featuring Robbie Shoults
On this episode of Together at Peace, we welcome Robbie Shoults, the third-generation leader of Bear Creek Smokehouse, a Texas legacy built on faith, family, and good food.
Robbie shares how his grandparents, Hick and Nellie, began Bear Creek in 1943 and how that humble smokehouse has grown into a nationally known name without losing its roots. From expanding the family business to honoring his father’s memory, Robbie opens up about how food connects people through comfort, celebration, and even loss.
You’ll also hear about his journey of staying grounded in faith while leading a growing enterprise—appearing on shows like Today, Rachael Ray, and Beat Bobby Flay—and why he still proudly calls himself the “Head Mop Pusher.”
