Executive Chef, Cade Mercer

Cade Mercer grew up near Seguin and New Braunfels, Texas, with cooking always playing an integral role in his life. A fateful call from Reid Guess, then head of Lambert's, was the beginning of what would ultimately begin his path into modern barbecue. Following his Lambert's chapter, Cade helped open EastSide Tavern, before crossing path's with Reid once again at Guess Family BBQ in Waco. Cade played a key role in creating the menus at Guess Family and Koko Ramen. With dreams of starting his own concept, Cade left Guess Family in November 2020 to develop his own take on BBQ at CM Smokehouse. Pairing up with Bouldin Acres, Cade created an inventive and delicious menu that has since received accolades from Texas Monthly, and many more key figures in the BBQ world. Expanding the boundaries of creative smoked dishes, Cade embodies the motto "do what you love, love what you do."
