Good Taste

CultureMap’s annual Tastemakers event was back and better than ever, featuring bites from the city’s most popular — and delicious — restaurants. Houston hip-hop legend Bun B announced winners in various categories, including Xochi as Restaurant of the Year. And the five-day Sugar Land Wine & Food Affair, now in its 15th year, featured fun, foodie-centric events like Bar Fight, in which bartenders created their own versions of a Paloma, and the annual Sip & Stroll.
