Austin’s original live fire style event, Cowboys + Gauchos featured some of Austin’s favorite Chefs demonstrating cooking methods fundamental to Texan and Southern American cooking. On this beautiful afternoon at The Salt Lick Pavilion, guests enjoyed the tastes of Texan and South American food and wine side by side complete with live music and outdoor games.
Thank you to everyone for coming out to Cowboys + Gauchos on February 24th. Proceeds from Cowboys + Gauchos will sponsor grants for two local chefs to attend Beef 101 at Texas A&M this June. Beef 101 offers the opportunity to learn about the total beef industry during a three day, hands on experience with the Meat Science faculty at Texas A&M. Topics covered during the 3 day workshop include everything from beef cattle growth, harvest, grading, anatomy, cutting, and factors affecting beef palatability.
