G&G Party Pics

G&G Rodeo Smoke Show

Friends of G&G gathered at Houston’s famed TRUTH BBQ to kick off the 2026 rodeo season in true Texas style. Blade and Bow Bourbon cocktails were served throughout the evening as guests made their way through a series of Texas-forward food stations led by pitmaster the restaurant’s owner, Leonard Botello IV, alongside guest chefs Ryan Lachaine of State of Grace, Bobby Matos of La Lucha, and Seth Siegel-Gardner of Local Foods and Milton’s. Live music from Steel Grassy and The Ransom Brothers set the soundtrack for the evening, while a curated makers market invited guests to browse and shop.
