Premier Culinary Awards

1 of 2

Congratulations to the winners of the 9^th Premier Culinary Awards. Phat Eatery – you did it! The Judges chose the freshly on-site prepared Lobster Dumpling sprinkled with truffle shavings. The live lobster display was breathtaking. And the flavors were equally as beautifully elegant.

The annual Spring Premier Culinary Awards highlights Katy’s best restaurant in 2023 based on their submission during the event. Five esteemed judges will rate the dishes in three categories: taste, creativity, and presentation and will award the winner with an official Katy Sip N Stroll award plate and photos to be featured on our website and promotions.
