Grady Spears

Native Texan and cowboy cook extraordinaire Grady Spears has crafted menus for dozens of buzz-worthy restaurants in his 3-decades long career. Spreading his signature cowboy cuisine from the far reaches of West Texas to the state's biggest cities -- Fort Worth, Dallas, and Houston, Grady has logged many miles out on the culinary trail, even going West and opening an outpost of his acclaimed Reata restaurant in Beverly Hills.... California, that is. Swimming pools and movie stars.

Having authored numerous cookbooks detailing his favorite cowboy recipes, Grady has traveled the world and cooked his signature cowboy chow for Good Morning America and the Today Show, as well as for the culinary elite and some of modern television's best food shows. Grady has prepared meals for the Bush family at the Texas Governor's Mansion, for Hall of Fame pitcher and Texas cattleman Nolan Ryan, as well as maintains his every Sunday partnership with NRG Stadium & the Houston Texans football team. Grady is proud to be a featured chef of RodeoHouston, the biggest livestock show and rodeo in the world.

Now firmly entrenched at his home base in the legendary Fort Worth Stockyards historic district, Grady's newest restaurant Horseshoe Hill has garnered rave reviews. Named one of the Best New Restaurants in 2015 by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and Texas Monthly, racking up People's Choice Awards for Best Chicken Fried Steaks in Cowtown (Quite an honor), as well as a brand new television series currently in production, Grady is re-establishing cowboy cuisine as America's oldest, most favorite comfort food.
