Hot Luck Fest has recently set its return dates for 2022. The Live Food and Music Experience will be back Memorial Day Weekend, May 26 – 29, safely across various venues in Austin Texas.
The coveted all-in Whole Enchilada passes are on sale now and are now discounted for a limited time at hotluckfest.com/tickets. With a previous value of $700 value, will now be available for $450 at this time. The pass allows you early access to the main food events, entry into every music show and it’s the only way into Hot Luck’s fabled industry kickoff on Thursday night, giving you a chance to hang with chefs and enjoy an intimate festival experience.
Founded by James Beard Award-winner Aaron Franklin, Guerilla Suit principal and Mohawk owner James Moody, and Mike Thelin, co-founder of Feast Portland, Hot Luck brings together some of Franklin’s favorite chefs and musicians from all over North America and beyond. It’s a weekend where chefs come down to Austin to participate in this culinary summer camp and cook like they would for their friends in their backyard. Talent will be announced in early 2022, when individual event tickets will also go on sale.
Hot Luck is excited to bring back the popular family pack where kids under 12 get in free with the purchase of two adult Whole Enchilada passes. We also have special pricing for young bucks (ages 13-20), and kids (under 12) if purchased a la carte.
The fest is proud to benefit the Southern Smoke organization. Franklin has long admired his good friend Chris Shepherd’s important work for the betterment of the food and beverage industry via the non-profit organization and its annual Houston event. Earlier this year, Hot Luck crafted its official beer in collaboration with Karbach Brewing. Horseshoe Pilsner is now available across Texas with portions of proceeds from sales going to Southern Smoke.

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
