Hot Luck starts Thursday
Austin's gourmet backyard cookout launches Thursday.
Why it matters: Studded with chefs recognized by the James Beard Foundation, the lineup of the seventh edition of the Hot Luck festival suggests just how much Austin has grown as a culinary destination.
What they're saying:"The most awesome chefs from all over gather in the coolest city to make the funnest bites to complement the most unforgettable food party in the known universe," Aaron Franklin said in a statement.
How it works: A Friday night event — titled "Nite Moves," at Assembly Hall — will recreate a street food market, with offerings from Bob Somsith (Lao'd Bar), Sarah Lim (OMG Squee), Tavel Bristol-Joseph (Canje), Tracy Malechek-Ezekiel (Birdie's) and Yoshi Okai (Otoko).
An outdoor event Saturday — "Al Fuego," at Jester King Brewery — features open fire cookery, from the likes of Edgar Rico (Nixta Taqueria); Evan LeRoy (LeRoy and Lewis); Michael Fojtasek (Maie Day); Philip Speer (Comedor); Raul Esquer and Roy Servan (Taqueria 10/10); and Todd Duplechan (Lenoir).
A Sunday brunch at Fair Market will include bites from Beto Robledo (Cuantos Tacos); Fermín Núñez (Suerte and Este); Fiore Tedesco (L'Oca d'Oro); Ian Thurwatcher (Poeta); Kevin Fink (Emmer & Rye); and Mariela Camacho (Comadre Panaderia).

MasterClass subscriptions are 40 percent off for Memorial Day
If you're on grilling duty this Memorial Day and stressing about getting the steak and veggies just right, we've got a deal for you. The MasterClass Memorial Day sale, running from May 22 to 26, offers up to 40 percent off all subscriptions to the video learning platform. Starting at $72, you can learn how to grill from legendary Texas BBQ master Aaron Franklin, then enjoy other courses for a full year. Just make sure to subscribe before the end of Memorial Day itself to take advantage of the discount. When you take a MasterClass course, one of the world's top experts guides you through a series of videos on how to approach their craft. The Memorial Day deal drops the cost of a Standard subscription to $6 per month when billed annually, which comes out to $72 in total. That gives you access to more than 200 courses for a year, though you can only watch them on a device connected to the internet. It makes an excellent gift for someone you love — or for yourself. MasterClass is also discounting its higher tiers for Memorial Day. With a Plus subscription, you can watch MasterClass courses on two devices at once, and download them to watch offline whenever you want. A Premium subscription boosts the number of devices to six. The latter also includes access to MasterClass On Call, which lets you chat with AI recreations of MasterClass experts (Although, as our review notes, that feature still needs a bit of polishing.) After you've wowed your friends and family with your new grilling skills, MasterClass has plenty of other lessons that you can explore to continue your education. Creative writers can check out the BBC Maestro course that "resurrects" Agatha Christie, using her notes, an actress and AI rendering to teach the art of crafting a killer mystery. The platform also just launched a 20-episode series on healthy skin, featuring a panel of accredited dermatologists and cosmeticians.

Lowcountry woman featured in cooking competition hosted by Carla Hall
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – A Lowcountry woman is featured in a 'game-changing' competition hosted by chef and television personality Carla Hall. Rhudine Washington, from Charleston, is competing against 11 chefs in the 'Favorite Chef' contest for a spot in the semi-finals. The challenge unites top chefs, passionate home cooks, and creative food artists in a showdown of skill and flavor. Washington said in an online bio for the competition that she was a stay-at-home mom who enjoyed cooking for her family. 'It brings me so much joy,' she said. Her parents were an inspiration behind her love for cooking. 'We owned a restaurant when I was a child,' she said. 'I learned to cook from them.' Washington added that her mother was also the cook for a local HeadStart program. Washington's specialty? Okra Soup, which she called a specialty in the Gullah Geechee corridor. 'I recently taught my youngest daughter to make this dish so we can continue our traditions,' said Washington. The winner of the 'Favorite Chef' competition will win a two-page spread in Taste of Home magazine, a cash prize, and the opportunity to cook with Carla Hall in New York City. You can vote for Washington by visiting her competition page on the Favorite Chef website. Voting for the semi-finals will end on Thursday, May 22. Organizers say the campaign benefits the James Beard Foundation. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
