What’s Up in Austin Hot ticket
Austin’s BBQ guru lands his very first festival.
SAY THE WORD brisket in Austin—hell, anywhere in the country—and the name Aaron Franklin is swift to follow. The BBQ bigwig opened Franklin Barbecue (900 E 11th St; 512- 653-1187, franklinbarbecue .com) in 2009, and, well, you know the rest: the massive lines, the perfect brisket, the James Beard Award. But there’s always room for growth. In May, Franklin expands in a major way with Hot Luck Festival, a four- day smorgasbord dedicated to world-class culinary talent and live music. With more than seven events taking place across the city from May 18 to 21, the festival aims to include both casual fans and hard-core BBQ enthusiasts. The Hi Lo (May 19) brings together some of Franklin’s chef buddies—Jennifer Tucker (Jeffrey’s), David Norman (Easy Tiger), Rene Ortiz (Launderette)—for
“They’re cooking from the heart” –Franklin
a night of Texas-inspired cuisine that will stick to your ribs. On the following night (May 20), culinary giants unite for Al Fuego, a celebration of flame-fueled cooking inlcuding bites from Andy Ricker (Portland’s Pok Pok), Bryce Gilmore (Odd Duck), Kevin Fink (Emmer & Rye) and others. “Getting the chefs for Hot Luck was as easy as asking friends who love to cook with soul and hang out,” says Franklin. “[They’re] cooking from the heart for new friends and old friends.” While Franklin
curated the food events, another familiar Austin name spearheaded the live-music
component: the Mohawk owner James Moody. “We wanted the quality bar to be high in terms of talent, but we also wanted shows to be approachable, easy, varied and fun,” says Moody. He didn’t disappoint. Black Joe Lewis, Rayland Baxter and Robert Ellis are just a few of the acts playing shows around town, and tickets are never more than $20. “Our theme at the Mohawk is ‘All are welcome,’ which applies to bands as well as fans,” says Moody. “We used that same philosophy when booking Hot Luck.” Whether you’re a fan of BBQ or live music—and especially if you’re a fan of both—you’ll root for this festival to become a summer tradition. ■ Erin Kuschner à Hot Luck Festival is May 18–21 at various locations (
hotluckfest.com). $12–$550.
