Tastemaker Awards

What do you get when you mix a bunch of young profeshes and some food? Culture Map Tastemakers, of course. Culture Map was giving out awards and showcasing local restaurants that I'm quite positive most people who were there have either heard of or been to before, but it was still tons of fun nonetheless... Highlights of the night include one of the Uchi samples (one was amazing, one was fishy), DJ Little Martin's badass beats (ASIDE: totally requested the playlist which included mixes of a few of my favorites: Vance Joy Riptide, Of Monsters and Men Little Talks, Depeche Mode Policy of Truth, Dolly Parton Jolene, Talking Heads This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody), Kanye West Love Lockdown, Maroon 5  Makes Me Wonder), the Kuu chewy Korean gnocchi things, which had a really good flavor, and the Smilebooth.

I would definitely go again, but like a few people have already commented on Culturemap it wasn't the most organized event in Houston. They didn't even announce the winners of the different categories of awards loud enough for people to hear, which I'm pretty sure is what I really went for... That and the free booze.
