Smoke & Fire BBQ is back on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026. Following its inaugural year, the annual celebration will once again bring together acclaimed pitmasters and chefs for an evening centered around the art of smoking, grilling, and cooking over an open flame, complemented by craft beverages, live music, and entertainment.

From smoked meats to food cooked over an open flame, guests will have the opportunity to taste signature creations from the evening’s lineup while enjoying craft beverages and live music. VIP ticket holders will receive early entry, unlimited food sampling, Pullman Market swag and access to an exclusive VIP patio, while general admission includes entry and unlimited food sampling.

Experience 11 acclaimed pitmasters and chefs, including five recognized on Texas Monthly’s Top 50 BBQ list (one ranked in the Top 5), three with Michelin recognition, and three James Beard Award semifinalists.

Featuring brisket foldee from Bar-A-BBQ, smoked lamb chops with chimichurri from KG BBQ, post oak-smoked pork belly from Curry Boys BBQ, Ribeye al Fuoco with Polenta from Rosso, tacos al pastor from El Pastor Es Mi Señor, BBQ Oysters from Isidore, and more. Plus, enjoy live music from the Mark Odom Band.

Last year’s event sold out, and we’re expecting another sellout this year! Don’t miss your chance to experience some of Texas’ best live-fire cooking and unique, one-day-only dishes, all in one place.
