Food at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo | Foodies & Friends

Katie Stone joins Dominic Palmieri at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo for a taste of new and classic treats available on the Midway.

First stop Biggy’s where Hot Honey Turkey Legs and sausage on a stick are kings, but there’s also Mesquite-grilled burgers and bacon-wrapped Pork Belly!

Years ago, Katie’s mother, Cleverley Stone nicknamed Palmieri the "Midway Gourmet". Not only did the moniker stick, but it seems to have motivated him to constantly improve the quality of midway food as well as come up with exciting, new unique tastes like Hot Honey Pickles!

Then it’s over to the Candy Factory where unique craft sodas rule and there are no rules about what can or can’t go on top of Unicorn Float.

Some fresh strawberries with warm Belgian chocolate delay Katie and Dominic just a bit, but then it’s full speed ahead on fried everything. The Midway Gourmet shares some midway food history and shows us how the deep-fried cheesecake is made.

The Midway at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and NRG Park is open Noon to Midnight, Wednesday – Friday and 10:00am until Midnight on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday, March 23 is the final day.
