We're bringing together chefs all around the Houston area to come and put their unique, gourmet spin on the classic Vietnamese sandwich. Come and taste how incredible the traditional banh mi can truly become. Prepare your taste buds for a night of deliciousness! You'll have the opportunity to vote for the chef you believe deserves the People's Choice, hear from distinguished judges as they pick their number one, and even bring home some tips to make your own delicious banh mi!

The Art Showcase

But the fun doesn't stop at the plates! Immerse yourself in a world of visual creativity at our exclusive art exhibition. We're proud to showcase both established and incredible up-and-coming Houston artists. Here you will have the opportunity to explore the diverse styles and powerful expressions from the local art community, engage directly with the artists and hear their stories, and participate in a silent auction for a chance to bring home your favorite piece! Our art display will be free to look and bid but the food event will need a ticket.
