The world's largest hot sauce festival takes place right here in Austin. Some 300 homemade and restaurant-served versions are judged by local chefs and food critics, while commercially bottled varieties are voted on by festival attendees (15,000 strong). By the end of the day, folks have consumed hundreds of gallons of salsa, not to mention vast quantities of beer and Tex-Mex food from local establishments. If your mouth needs a rest, plenty of booths offer crafts, clothing, and (what else?) hot sauce. Great local bands, too. |
