Do It For You

Enjoy home improvement sans stress with this skilled Texas company

Staying home more this year has caused many of us to look around and think, "I should really tackle that project I've been putting off." Some are also thinking, "I need a creative gift for the holiday season" and enter Brixos, the modernized way to do home improvement and get things done.

Whether it's fixing the air conditioner, remodeling your kitchen or bathroom, adding a study, hanging your holiday lights, hiring a handyman for a few hours, or even adding a custom addition, Brixos can do it for you.

Brixos works with vetted professional contractors to ensure every job is finished to perfection. After receiving your project request through app.brixos.com, their team reviews your request and sends a bid estimate based on average industry pricing.

From there, Brixos works closely with homeowners on the design of their space, then manages the work from start to finish. All you have to do is approve your project plans and enjoy the results.

The ants garnishing Guapo Taco's chips were the talk of the Fort Worth event.

It’s another one for CultureMap’s history books. The 2023 Tastemaker Awards, which recognized Texas' best chefs, restaurants, and more culinary superstars of the year, have finally come to a close.

The series kicked off April 13 with our sold-out Houston Tastemaker Award at Silver Street Studios, then we came home to Fort Worth, to the 4 Eleven, for our second annual event, April 27. The Texas culinary tour steered us over to Dallas' Fashion Industry Gallery on May 4. From there, we took a drive to the Hill Country for Austin’s evening festivities at Fair Market on May 11, then concluded our journey with our second-ever fête in San Antonio on May 18.

The 2023 Tastemaker Awards honor the state’s most innovative culinary pioneers, allowing nominated chefs and restaurants to showcase their talents for guests before announcing the winners during a live ceremony.

Guests sampled chefs’ specialty bites and imbibed a variety of creative cocktails or mocktails, with a few Topo Chicos sprinkled in throughout the evening. But as always, our nominees and winners are the main focus of our program and are the reason we can bring these celebrations to life.

While a panel of local food and beverage pros choses a majority of the winners, the winner of Best New Restaurant is determined by our readers in an online, bracket-style tournament. New this year in each city, a sizzling on-site Burger Throwdown sponsored by Goodstock Beef by Nolan Ryan.

Without further ado, let’s meet our 2023 CultureMap Tastemaker Awards winners, listed by city:
