Welcome to the home of the Xtreme Texas Cookers. We are a barbeque cookoff team based out of Houston, Texas. Our team consists of a very diversified group that shares a single love - cooking good barbeque. Collectively, our team has over 150 years of combined experience in the realm of competitive cooking and we go to each event with a great deal of enthusiasm. The Xtreme Texas Cookers was created when two other teams merged with the ideals that a team could meet and exceed the existing expectations of what a competitive cooking team is capable of.

We also enjoy having a good time. Granted, with every competition, there is lots of hard work and preparation involved but along with the hard work comes the satisfaction of being able to spend several days at a time outside under the Texas sky, cooking, eating, drinking and laughing with friends and neighbors.

 

Our schedule is much diversified as well. We participate in the greatest barbeque cookoff in the world, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Championship Cookoff every spring and we bring our donors one of the best parties that can be had at the show. We will spend a few months to prepare for this event and have been known to serve as many as 1,500 people in one day. Of course, everyone that goes to the HLSR Cookoff knows exactly who we are by the live Zydeco band, the beads, the jello-shots, the dancing and of course, our mouth-watering food. Our parties have become somewhat of a standard that all the other competitors strive to match.
