James Beard award-winning duo to speak, offer tasting, at Endeavor’s Collaborators & Cocktails September 13th

Perini Ranch, known for its world-famous beef tenderloin and James Beard Award-winning steakhouse, headlines Collaborators & Cocktails on Wednesday, September 13th from 5:00 – 7:15 p.m. at Endeavor, the coworking and office space community in downtown Greenville’s ONE tower. Ranchers Tom and Lisa Perini will share their extraordinary journey along with a tasting of their world-famous beef tenderloin.

Established in 1983 and known for its authentic “cowboy cuisine,” the now-destination Perini Ranch Steakhouse began as a chuck wagon catering company founded by Tom Perini in the small West Texas town of Buffalo Gap. Tom still guides and nurtures the multi-faceted brand today alongside his wife, Clemson University graduate, Lisa Perini.

With a worldwide following for its celebrated “Real Texas Food” and authentic dining experience, Perini Ranch is the winner of a coveted James Beard America’s Classics Award and has been named the New York Times’ “Best Mail Order Food Gift” in the country for its unmatched beef tenderloin.

Under Tom and Lisa’s leadership, Perini Ranch has earned every victory by striving for excellence, innovating, making wise choices, and ensuring their customers have an unmatched and memorable experience with their brand. They’ve catered for presidents, won national awards, and shipped thousands of tenderloins.

“For anyone focused on building relationships with customers and delivering an extraordinary brand experience, this is a don’t-miss event,” says Joe Erwin, president of Endeavor. “I’m excited to hear Tom and Lisa’s personal account of their unique journey to national acclaim and thrilled they offered to bring their world-famous and highly sought after beef tenderloin to share with our lucky attendees.”
