Food: Sunday Is Too Hot To Handle At Waterloo Park
If you think you have the hot sauce recipe to beat, enter the festival's contest and show Austin what you've got. Entries for individuals are being accepted from now until 11:30 a.m. the day of the event.
David Garza, Uncle Lucius, El Tule, Distant Lights and Aftermath will be providing the jams, local restaurant faves Curra's Grill, Aster's Ethiopian Restaurant, Torchy's Tacos and Santa Rita Tex Mex Cantina will be selling lots of food, and the hot sauce tasting tent will have samples of salsa for the taking. If you're feelin' the heat after all that spice, stop by Sun Garden for some New Orleans-style shaved ice to cool you down.
Admission to the Hot Sauce Festival is free with either cash or food donations (bring three healthy, non-perishable items, please) to the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas. Last year's Hot Sauce Festival raised $14,000 and provided 29,000 pounds of food for Central Texans in need.
