The Hot Luck Festival was started by Aaron Franklin, Mike Thelin (co-founder of Feast Portland), and James Moody (owner of Austin’s Mohawk), and this year’s edition took place in Austin over Memorial Day Weekend. Farideh Sedeghin of America’s Test Kitchen gives you the lowdown in this video.

Join MUNCHIES Test Kitchen Director Farideh Sadeghin as she eats her way through Austin, Texas’ Hotluck music and food festival. This casual event is a hodgepodge of everything locals and visitors alike love about the city—good music, fun people, and the best barbeque known to man.

/ Barbecue Bros / Leave a comment

From last November, a 19 minute short film from Munchies on Tennessee barbecue.

In the second leg of our BBQ Road Trip – brought to you by Jack Daniel’s – host Tom Wright travels across the Atlantic to Tennessee, the heartland of barbecue. Tom gluts himself in the impressive barbecue joints littered between Nashville and Memphis, and along the way, learns that the finest food often comes out of the most unexpected places. Meeting some good ol’ boys and gals, Tom marinates in a world of cooking techniques, dying artistry, and secret recipes.

You may recall Vice’s Munchies visiting Skylight Inn to showcase Sam Jones’ whole hog barbecue in a video we posted a few months back. In this one, they visit the Franklin Barbecue in Austin and interview various folks who endure the six-hour line, usually with beer in tow, all in the name of delicious barbecue.
