Chef Andrew Weissman, who presented “The Rosemary” Award for Excellence in Culinary Arts & Hospitality to Diana Barrios Trevino at The Celestial Awards presented by Women in Film & Television Texas, issued the following statement: “This now international enterprise had humble roots, with Rosemary and her husband opening their first barbecue restaurant on Zarzamora Road in 1946. She said in an interview that one day a customer asked about catering for his church bazaar and, “to tell the truth, I wasn’t even sure what ‘catering’ was!”
“Rosemary Kowalski was more than a pioneer in business—she was my cherished mentor who touched countless lives with her warmth, wisdom, and unwavering support. Her roots were planted on North Zarzamora Street, becoming a celebrated figure in San Antonio’s culinary and hospitality industries, who grew into exemplified grace and leadership. I am deeply grateful for her kindness and encouragement, which inspired me and so many others to aim higher and lead with compassion.
“Remember Rosemary Kowalski, a true San Antonio icon whose legacy will never be forgotten. From turning a small BBQ restaurant into, one of the most successful catering businesses in the nation, Rosemary’s entrepreneurial spirit was matched by her deep commitment to giving back to the community. Her generosity extended to countless local nonprofits, where she supported causes that uplifted families, children, and individuals in need.
