Veteran rodeo city-slickers and greenhorns alike moseyed about the Reliant Center last night feasting on braised meats, popsicle treats and much, much more. ย Whistles were wet as bottles kept poppin’ and all that could be seen far and wide were ace-high folks enjoying a hog-killin’ time. ย Both the people and judges took a cotton to Grazia’s Italian Kitchen (People’s Choice), Broken Barrel (best appetizer), Ouisie’s Table (best entree), and AshleyCakes (best dessert.) ย A round of claps please for the masterminds running this impressive operation and the hundreds of gracious volunteers who made it all possible; tonight was only the beginning. ย Best pony up and make plans to visit the wonderful world of Rodeo Houston.
