RodeoHouston Gold Buckle Foodie Award 2023 Winners Announced

For the past 15 years, HLSR has named the winners of the Gold Buckle Foodie Award.

HOUSTON. Walking through the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo can be a little tiring, especially if you’re hungry.

What do you want to eat? Where do you want to eat? How much do you want to eat?

These are all valid questions. That’s why HLSR has been awarding the Gold Buckle Foodie Award for the past 15 years.

Vendors, merchants and local restaurant goers had the opportunity to present their best dishes, while local TV hosts, chefs and content creators sat on the jury and tasted the dishes of the 18 finalists.

There were six categories in which they could vote.
