Hot Luck Food & Music Festival

From Hot Luck Food & Music Festival Website:

Hot Luck is what happens at the firein the flames. It's where the inspiration turns into food. And that food feeds the people, and the music, and the next round of crazy ideas that flicker to life.

Created by James Beard Award-winner Aaron Franklin, Guerilla Suit principal and Mohawk owner James Moody, and Mike Thelin, co-founder of Feast Portland, it is a DIY casserole of the culinary and music world.

It is both a festival that occurs every Memorial Day weekend in Austin as well as a traveling series of events that pop up in cities all over the country year-round.

Hot Luck is barbecue by Aaron Franklin, ramen by Ivan Orkin, wings by Andy Ricker, kebabs by Matty Matheson, steamed buns by Kristen Kish and sushi by Yoshi Okai. Hot Luck is great tunes, be it Hot Snakes, Peter Hook, DJ Questlove, Robert Ellis, Galactic or Twin Peaks. It's an experience that prompted Farideh Sadeghin, Culinary Director at MUNCHIES to call the '18 weekend in Austin, "the best food festival in the country."
