Hot Luck Festival 2024: Everything to Know About the Austin Food Event | Eater Austin

"I’m glad the annual kick-off party moved from Franklin Barbecue to this Red River music venue — it’ll feel like a huge taco party with members of Austin’s Taco Mafia (Nixta Taqueria’s Edgar Rico and Sara Mardanbigi; Cuantos Tacos’ Beto Robledo; and Discada’s Anthony Pratto and Xose Velasco) dishing out really well-made tacos, plus Tex‑Asian bakery OMG Squee’s Sarah Lim likely serving her fun mochi doughnuts; expect the night to include concerts (Tearjerk, Sabrina Ellis, and headliner Calexico) and a late-night hot‑dog pop‑up (Zee’s Wiener System slinging franks from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m.)." - Nadia Chaudhury
