Texas Cook-Off Team · Est. 2026
We’re 15 members and the families beside us, brought together by good food and the joy of sharing it. From the excitement of competing at the rodeo to showing up for our community, LAE Cookers is about more than what’s on the pit. It’s about the people gathered around it.
Who We Are
LAE Cookers started this year with 15 members, our families, and a simple idea: let’s do what we love, together.
Our first season took us from the Pasadena rodeo cook-off to feeding kids at a trunk or treat in South Houston. One gave us a chance to compete. The other reminded us how much a good meal can mean.
Our plan is simple: cook hard and keep showing up to a place we call home.
