AUSTIN! I’ll be in you this weekend, judging at the 2013 Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival on Sunday!

The Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival, which began in 1990, has become the world’s largest, drawing as many as 15,000 spectators and more than 350 entries every year. This year The Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival will take place on Sunday, August 25 at Fiesta Gardens (2100 Jesse E. Segovia St.) in Austin, Texas. 

FREE to the public (with a donation of three healthy, nonperishable food items or a cash donation to the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas), the event draws upward of 15,000 spectators and more than 350 entries every year.

And the night before, I’ll be at Garrido’s Restaurant signing books and drinking beer and margaritas with fellow hot sauce cookbook fiends Robb Walsh, Mando Rayo, Jarod Neece, and David Garrido!

Come by, have a drink, and say hi!
