But food isn’t the only reason to attend this first-ever event. The FWFWF will also be presenting the Renfro Family with the 2023 Walter F. Kaufmann Lifetime Achievement Award in honor of the family’s illustrious 80-year history. This award is reserved for individuals who embody the integrity, achievements, and standards set by the beloved Fort Worth Chef Walter. Over the years, the Renfro family have unquestionably achieved these qualities with their deeply rooted Fort Worth brand that manufactures salsas, peppers, relishes and sauces.
The company’s award-winning salsa line, Mrs. Renfro’s, includes nearly 30 products available through supermarkets, gourmet food stores and gift shops in all 50 states and internationally. Originally founded in 1940 as a packaged spices and pepper sauce business, the Renfro family has continued to evolve and expand the brand into the multimillion-dollar business that it is today. In 2018, the company was named a finalist for the Dream Big Small Business of the Year Award by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
“The Foundation is thrilled to honor the Renfro Family at this exquisite event and to invite hungry epicureans from across North Texas to join in the celebration,” a spokesperson for the FWFWF said in a release.
