Aaron Franklin's Hot Luck Food and Music Fest - Al Fuego


Aaron Franklin's Second Annual Hot Luck Food and Music Fest took place in Austin, Texas over four days,  May 24 - 27, 2018.


Hot Luck is the latest food festival to hit ATX. It was created and founded by James Beard award-winning chef (and local barbeque pitmaster) Aaron Franklin, Mohawk nightclub owner James Moody, and Feast Portland co-founder Mike Thelin. The fest featured chefs from Austin and around the country grilling up some of their latest creations as well as other specialities. A portion of the proceeds from the festival benefitted The SAFE Alliance.


Limelight Imaging was on hand to cover the food aspects of the festival.


Al Fuego - Saturday,  May 26 - The Wild Onion Ranch
