Support Food + Beverage Workers Affected by the Texas Hill Country Floods

Our hearts are with everyone in the Texas Hill Country.

Southern Smoke provides financial relief during the recovery phase of disasters. We’ve committed $150,000 to support affected F+B workers and are prepared to do more. Sysco will match up to $15,000 in donations to amplify our impact.

The Hill Country Relief Fund application will open August 15. For urgent needs like medical or funeral expenses, F+B workers can apply now through our existing relief fund. Our Behind You program also offers no cost counseling to F+B workers.

WHERE WILL I BE COOKING:

Terrence Gallivan discovered his passion for cooking working at a bistro in his hometown of Fredericksburg, Virginia, and went on to man the stoves at New York City’s Charlie Palmer’s Aureole, The Modern, Gordon Ramsey at the London Hotel, and Fiamma. In 2008, he took over as chef at hot NYC restaurant August, before (ironically) spending the month of August in Houston, helping create the Just 8 Project—a one-month pop-up restaurant with Chef Seth Siegel-Gardner and Chef Justin Yu. Coming back to Houston for good, he and Siegel-Gardner opened The Pass and Provisions, a dual-concept restaurant, in 2012. Gallivan is a two-time nominee for the James Beard Award for Best Chef: Southwest, and The Pass and Provisions was named the sixth best new restaurant in America in 2013 by Bon Appetit. Gallivan opened his first solo concept Elro Pizza // Crudo in 2023 in Houston.
