WERE THE GRILL DEAL
For 28 years, DIM Fiefelmann Cookers have been commanding the pits at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest. This year, we’re back with more fire, more whiskey, and a whole lot of attitude. Get ready—Texas BBQ doesn’t get bolder than this.
About the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest
Since 1974, teams from around the globe have competed at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest. They’re judged on taste, tenderness, aroma and presentation. Winners take home prizes in different categories, but only one team gets crowned Grand Champion. Each year, 200,000 folks show up to watch teams flex their grill skills. It’s the biggest BBQ competition you’ll ever see, at the biggest rodeo in the world. No pressure.
Here’s the straight talk:
  • We consider having a good time serious business. When you’re here, you’re kin—but not if you’re no fun.
  • Our wristbands only get you in our tent.
  • Show up late and you’re just outing yourself as a rookie.
  • Traffic’s gonna suck (this is Houston, y’all).You’ve been warned, so don’t whine about it later.
Y'all
