About Gilley's Food & Beverage

Gilley’s was once the world’s largest honkytonk. It grew into an icon and became ingrained in the DNA of Texas. Soon Hollywood took notice and Paramount came knocking to film the Urban Cowboy Movie featuring John Travolta and Debra Winger. The biggest little joint in Pasa-get-down-dena became an overnight sensation and folks from all over the country were boot scootin’ their way inside. There were nightly concerts and dancin’, bull ridin’ and pool playin’, and of course Gilley’s Chili was on the menu. The Gilley’s Wild Bull Chili was served nightly and it paired well with an ice cold Gilley’s beer. In the summertime Gilley’s hosted an annual chili cook-off. It became quite the affair. It was then packaged so that cowpokes could grab the seasoning to go and make it themselves at home. I grew up Gilley’s. I also grew up with Wild Bull Chili. I worked for Mickey after college, eventually becoming his business manager. A few years ago I started the Gilley’s Food & Beverage company. Naturally my first order of business was bringing the Gilley’s Wild Bull Chili Seasoning Mix to market. Ever since I’ve been adding items to the Gilley’s Foods line to continue Mickey’s legacy. We have a love for great tasting food and we surround ourselves with great friends, family and music. Welcome y'all, from our table to yours. Jeffrey McDonaldRead their story
