HYE STEAKS 2026
A little rain wasn’t gonna stop us from having one hell of a night at the 5th Annual Hye Steaks.
Texas Bourbon, Texas Beef, Hill Country w**e and damn fine folks coming together for a good cause. Life doesn’t get much better than that.
A big CONGRATS to this year’s People’s Choice winners:
- Best Cooking Team: Boiler House at Pearl — Chef Casey Covington & Chef Justin
- Best W**e Partner: Republic W**e Castle
- Best Cocktail: Travis Horstman — Wh***ey Shack
And the Barrel Side experience with Master Distiller Donnis Todd was a great way to cap off the evening. Guests got a rare taste of Laguna Madre straight from the barrel!
A BIG THANK YOU to all the chefs, w**eries, beef providers, lodging partners, sponsors, students, and everyone who helped make Hye Steaks 2026 one for the books.
