Save the date for the tastiest food and drink event of the season: The CultureMap Tastemaker Awards return this spring to celebrate Fort Worth's top restaurant and bar talent — and discount tickets are on sale now.

Join us April 23 at The 4 Eleven for our signature tasting event and annual awards ceremony. You'll enjoy a full evening of chef-driven bites, perfectly paired sips, and the big reveal of the Fort Worth Tastemaker Award winners for 2025.

The CultureMap Tastemaker Awards program shines a spotlight on the people and places that make Texas' top cities world-class culinary destinations.

Mark your calendars for our other 2025 events:

  • Houston: April 3 at Silver Street Studios
  • San Antonio: April 10 at The Briscoe Western Art Museum
  • Dallas: May 1 at Astoria Event Venue

This year in Fort Worth we'll present awards for Restaurant of the Year, Chef of the Year, Bar of the Year, Rising Star Chef of the Year, Pastry Chef of the Year, Neighborhood Restaurant of the Year, Best New Restaurant, Best Barbecue, and Best Coffee Shop.

Our panel of industry experts — including past Tastemaker winners — selects all nominees and winners, except for the Best New Restaurant winner, which will be determined by you, our readers, in a heated online tournament.

The 2025 Fort Worth Tastemaker Awards nominees will be unveiled in February, and readers will get to know all of our nominees in a special editorial series leading up to the big event on April 23.

A limited number of pre-sale tickets are on sale now at discounted rates of $50 for general admission and $85 for VIP (includes early access to the event, valet parking, and a dedicated bar). Prices will go up soon.

More delicious details about each event are coming soon. But don't delay: Nab tickets for Fort Worth — and all of our 2025 events — now.
