Alcohol: NO BYOB. There will be multiple bars on site and this is a TABC regulated event. This will be strictly enforced.

Bring them!
Kids are welcome at this event. With that being said, there are a few things you should know:
There is no designated kids area at this event. 
There will be alcohol served at this event. As this is a cook-off, there will also be fire/hot grills/food that may contain allergens etc. Please keep this in mind.
Your children will need to stay with you or a trusted adult at all times. 

The Appetizer Side Pot kicks off the day. You can register to compete ($100) and will be entered to win 50% of the side pot and a trophy. 

Cook your BEST. Bring whatever you like and what you think others would like. This is a fun part of the event that has become a fav amongst teams!

We can’t tell you everything. 
But, maybe… just maybe, it will be you. It’s hard to say. 

It’s rare that we turn down a well-done steak pun. 
It takes a choice set of words, perfect delivery and a little spice. 
If you can cook-up a great steak pun, we’d love to hear it. But, be warned, to compete with us.. it better have some meat to it. 

You’ll want to let it marinate. Flip it a few times to see if it’s ready. Let it rest. Then SERVE IT UP.  Let’s see what you got. 
There’s only a select group of people that do it well.

 

Stay Saucy.

 

Bring your best apron. 

Each team will be a part of a selection process to select their steaks for the competition judging.

After your steaks have been submitted, you’ll begin slingin’ steaks for all the attendees. There will be approximately 20 steaks per team (if you have a double spot, you’ll receive double the steaks).
