Last night, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo had its ‘Uncorked’ and Best Bites Competition. It’s one of my favorite Houston events with Houston’s Top Chefs and some of the best wines from all over the world, offering everything you could ever imagine in one mouthwatering bite or pour. I’ll name some of the standouts….but I couldn’t even begin to name the tastings we tried. There were so many represented here it was hard to get to them all. But we tried our best! Ha!
Brennen’s of Houston, Uchi’s, Toro Toro, Patagonia, III by Wolfgang Puck, Ouisie’s Table, Marmo, Loro, Jūn, Savoir and Pattons, Capital Grill….and on and on. Gourmet everything… Short ribs, brisket, pork, gourmet tacos, sliders, tamales, cheesy everything, salmon, shrimp, ceviche, crab, turtle soup, gumbo, noodles, truffle shavings in creamy pasta, specialty ice creams, donuts, bourbon chocolate balls, whiskey cake, cookies, Asian fusion seafood, caviar and crab cream puffs….and we’re not even half way around the room yet!!!! Wines and more wines…and a bottle of water too.
Goodness gracious, what a night!!
Folks dressed up in their Western Chic fashions and made for a real fun evening.
We paced ourselves and we’re still too full to get our boots off!!
This is a really, REALLY good book. Narrated by Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson himself.
Insightful, articulate and inspiring. Jackson talks about his Thug life, being a rapper and his transition into becoming a business mogul, recently signing with the Starz network for $150 million for his TV show Power. He’s made deals with vitamin water as well as his own liquor line with sponsorship deals with the Astros and Texans. He maintains a loft in a Houston. He’s still performing too and, oddly enough, will be in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo concert line up. The man is amazing! Who knew!
