Over 30 of Denver’s top steakhouses will fire up the grill, competing in two categories: Traditional Steak and Creative Steak. Each restaurant will also craft a signature cocktail pairing, making every bite an unforgettable experience.
Buckhead Denver is the state’s premier specialty meat and seafood processor. The company operates out of a 140,000 ft sq state-of-the-art production and distribution facility in Houston, TX.
Buckhead Denver today is a reflection of the combining of two best-in-class companies: Louisiana Foods, founded in 1978 and Freedman Meats, founded in 1991. Both companies had strong reputations in the market for the highest quality meat and seafood available. The strength of these companies led to Sysco’s acquisition and the ultimate combination in 2016 into the business we know today.
Taste something you love at Rare? For one night only, you can purchase select spirits, wines, and more starting at just above wholesale cost — an exclusive deal you will not find again!
