In honor of the competitive Texas Prize exhibition, come see the art by the three finalists and celebrate their accomplishments. Then join us on the roof for food and cocktails by three hot Austin chefs and mixologists who will create cool pairings from the cuisine of hot places. Try them all and vote for your favorite. Curated by Edible Austin and Tipsy Texan.

Mixologist / Chef Teams:

David Alan paired with Chef Aaron Franklin
(Tipsy Texan and Franklin Barbecue)

Bill Norris paired with Chef John Bullington
(400 Rabbits and Alamo Drafthouse)

Joyce Garrison paired with Chef Ben Hightower
(W Austin Hotel and TRACE)

Each team will come up with a dish from a “hot spot” that will pair with a specific cocktail. The tastings will feature local and seasonal ingredients where possible, of course!
