Pro Player Foundation was thrilled to welcome back Bravo BBQ Company, a veteran-owned barbecue business based in Central Texas. Their culinary firepower brought serious flavor to the front lines of the event!
You can't talk about Flavors of Austin without mentioning our longtime friends at Amy’s Ice Creams! Pro Player Foundation is grateful to Amy’s Ice Creams for showing up year after year with their signature flavors. From Lemon Icebox Pie to Strawberry Jubilee to Chocolate Custard Cookie Dough.
With a diverse background in journalism, art, and a 20-year career with the Department of Defense, Chef JRodi now leads a dynamic culinary team, working with local artisans and uplifting women in the industry through organizations like Future Front Texas and Austin Les Dames Escoffier.
