Our Founder: Gerald Wayne Wallace (Jerry)

Jerry was born and raised in Chester Texas. Like old cowboy stories, after graduating High School he went “out west” and herded cattle on the free range. He did this for 2 years; sleeping under the stars and saving his pay for his future.
He then returned to Houston and bought a little gas station to start what was to become B & W Meat Company. He had delivered meat by bicycle and in the evenings, he went to the University of Houston and took business classes. Years later, he bought the building where it remains today.
In 1988 he married Alinka Boothe and gained a stepdaughter. He was a Lifetime member of The Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo until his passing. His dedication to The Horsepitality Committee was un-wavered. He could be found “in the barn” each and every day of the Rodeo.
He owned and operated The Lantana Ranch in Flatonia where he and Alinka raised cattle and horses.
He built a legacy, full of history and honor. He was a quiet, observant man and his advice was always spot on. He will always and forever be our Guardian Angel in a cowboy hat and boots.

For pork and poultry, the meat should appear moist but not overly wet. Don't hesitate to ask our staff for advice on selecting the best cuts for your needs and recipes.

The best cooking method depends on the cut. For example, steaks like ribeye or tenderloin are best grilled or pan-seared for a rich, juicy flavor. Tougher cuts, like brisket or chuck roast, benefit from slow cooking or braising to bring out tenderness. Ask our staff for tips based on your specific cut.
Meat can be safely stored in the freezer for several months. Beef, lamb, and pork can typically be frozen for up to 6-12 months, while poultry can be stored for up to 9 months. To maintain quality, ensure the meat is tightly wrapped in airtight packaging to prevent freezer burn.

Choice beef has less marbling than Prime but is still high-quality and suitable for grilling. Select beef has the least marbling and is leaner but still a good option for various cooking methods.
