The actual food at the carnival and in the stadium at the Rodeo reflect the Texan influence and culture on this state-wide event. All types of food can be found from barbecue to fried oreos to Cajun fries. In the Arena, there's wood-fired pizza, ice cream, cinnamon rolls, and more. In the NRG Center and Park, there's even more. Basically, any type of food (mainly unhealthy) from the south is somehow incorporated into the Houston Rodeo.
