Why we cook

Every plate helps open a door

Our team competes annually at the Rodeo Austin BBQ Cook-off to support the Star of Texas Fair and Rodeo Scholarship Program. Inside the grounds, visitors can find complimentary barbecue, food, drinks, and music in our tent.

Donations are encouraged and directly support the mission of growing the next generation of Texas kids.
