There were tears of joy from Kimberly Revis of multiple-time Gold Buckle winner Custom Confections as she and her husband, Anthony, accepted their third first-place award of the day. This is the fifth year in a row Custom Confections has received top honors in a category — but its first Dessert award. The Revises' winning entry this year was “The Emma,” a layered sundae in a clear cup that comes complete with brownies, chocolate syrup and whipped cream.
Multiple-time breakfast winner Stubby’s had the most total honors, taking both first and second place in the Breakfast category as well as third and first place in the Best Value category. Their “Big Stone” breakfast sandwich included a thick slice of ham, egg and a big slice of melted cheese on a burger bun.
Houston restaurants Berryhill Baja Grill and Saltgrass Steakhouse also had terrific showings. Berryhill won first place in the Food On A Stick category with its shrimp diablo kebab and third in the Best Fried Food category for its crispy original fish taco.
For its part, Saltgrass landed second place with its steak kebab for the very important Food On A Stick Category, and its pork-stuffed baked potato took third in the Classic Fair Food category.
Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo attendees who find, buy and try all eight first-place Gold Buckle winners will get bragging rights that they truly had the best food at the rodeo — and a free T-shirt. Not that hungry? Land four and get a koozie instead — and similar bragging rights.
