Chef Todd Duplechan has been feeding Austin very, very well at Lenoir Restaurant for more than a decade. His thing? “Hot weather food.” Bright, acid-forward dishes made for eating in the Texas heat. Which, explains why he fits in so well around here. hotluckfest.com/whole-enchil…

This is Giddy Up: Friday night at Franklin Barbecue, and a very good reason to go Whole Enchilada. It’s the only pass that gets you in. You know what to do. hotluckfest.com/whole-enchil…

Oh, those first bite feels.

When the smoke clears at Giddy Up Friday night, the party moves to Mohawk, where Mon Rovîa takes to the stage. His incredible storytelling and rich Afro-Appalachian folk sound are the perfect way to feed your soul after filling your belly. hotluckfest.com/whole-enchil…

This chef's a hometown favorite. Tavel Bristol-Joseph of Canje has been making us Austinites sweat and crave Caribbean heat since day one. He’s family at Hot Luck, and we're stoked to have him back in October.  Grab your tickets: wl.eventim.us/event/HOT-LUCK…

Sometimes we could all use a helping hand.

Direct from L.A. by way of Bangkok, Chef Deau Arpapornnopparat is bringing @holybasil_la's beloved Thai street food to Hot Luck for the very first time. If you haven't had the chance to eat his food yet, October's looking like a pretty good time to change that. Photo: Eva Kolenko
