Texas Steak Cook-Off, Hico Texas

If you know your way around a steak, you may want to compete (or maybe just attend) the third annual Texas Steak Cook-Off in Hico, Texas. The little town of Hico, (pronounced “high-coh”) holds the cook off as part of its Old Settlers Reunion, which celebrates its 120th anniversary this year.

There are two divisions, Backyard Expert and Professional. Competitors bring their own grills, marinades, rubs, and mojo —- but the steaks are provided. This is an all ribeye event. I do believe the ribeye is the national steak of Texas!

Visitors can enjoy a steak dinner with salad, baked potato, and a Texas staple — iced tea. I bet there will be a long line around the booth of the winner. I wonder if they get to charge more than the last place team?

Hico, incidentally was the home of Bill Roberts, an interesting character who in his later years claimed to be the infamous outlaw Billy the Kid. According to Roberts, Pat Garrett shot the wrong man! They even have a Billy the Kid museum if you’d like to launch your own investigation.
