On today's podcast episode, it's The Ultimate Houston Vietnamese Food Draft! Listen as Eric, alongside Local Foods Group's Chelsea Thomas, Heights Grocer's Mary Clarkson, Stevie Vu from the Chow-down in Chinatown Facebook group, Isabel Protomartir from the 'Have A Nice Day' AAPI pop-up markets, and Michael Fulmer, who co-founded the Houston BBQ Festival, attempt to craft the best lineup!

The drafters will be selecting a lineup of the following 6 categories: salad/appetizer, entrée, sandwich, soup, Viet-Cajun, and a wildcard item.

The Draft Rules
Rule 1: No drafter may select the same restaurant in more than one category.
Rule 2: Once a restaurant has been selected for a specific category, no other drafter may select it in that same category.   
Rule 3: Snake draft format. The draft order will go one through six in round 1, then go backwards six through one in round 2.
Rule 4: Categories may be selected in any order.
