j bar b brisket - waelder, tx

There's no doubt that Danny and D.J. Janecka of J Bar B Foods know how to make a good brisket. After all, the family-owned business, founded in 1959 by Danny's father (and D.J.'s grandfather) has had lots of years to perfect that mouthwatering, slow-smoked flavor.

In fact, it's that great taste that H-E-B customers enjoy when they choose H-E-B Fully Cooked Brisket for lunch, dinner or anytime. And the Janecka family considers that an honor. "We take a lot of pride to be able to serve H-E-B and its customers," says Danny Janecka. "They're the best in the business, and we hold that close to our hearts."

Based in Waelder, Texas, the family has supplied both sausage and brisket for H-E-B since 1989, developing a huge customer following along the way. "We really emphasize texture and smoked flavor," says D.J. Janecka. "Our brisket is minimally processed and smoked—just like you'd do it yourself."

The family is proud of its long standing reputation as a Texas company, and it seems fitting that H-E-B is the company's number one customer. "It's always been a big priority for H-E-B to support local companies," says Danny Janecka. "It's always a feather in our cap to work with H-E-B."
