2013 Houston Rodeo Specials

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is February 25, 2013 through March 17, 2013 and Frank's Americana Revival is celebrating our Texas heritage. The rugged American West radiates an unmistakable pioneering spirit. And so does the food. It's Rodeo time, Houston!

Join us at Frank's Americana Revival as we celebrate Texas and the Cuisine of the American West – part of our continuing commitment to Americana revival cuisine.

Entertainment

The Emmett and Shine Chuck Wagon will be on site at Frank's Americana Revival, with a working Chuck Wagon exhibit on several Fridays from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Dates are February 22, March 8 and March 22; these days will make for great photo opportunities and a look at how food was prepared in Texas in the not so distant past. See photos from Go Texan Day.
