The Long Center will never be the same.
The 2011 Texas Monthly BBQ Festival summoned over 20 Pit Bosses from across Texas and they forever infused the wonderful smell of BBQ into the hallowed pillars of our performing arts center.
BBQ fans from as far away as Ithaca, New York cast their votes for Best Brisket, Best Sausage, Best Beef Ribs and Best Pork Ribs. The results will be in a future edition of Texas Monthly Magazine.
BBQ fan Syed Rehman said “So I flew into Dallas from Ithaca and then drove down for the fest. My vegetarian sister-in-law got me the BBQ t shirt because she knows how much I love BBQ. I will be back in 2013!”
“EAT THE HEAT” is the nationally recognized and award winning annual fundraiser hosted by the Austin Chapter of NACE, the National Association of Catering Executives. Each year NACE-Austin partners with a local charity and produces an event that showcases Austin’s finest culinary talent and their favorite ways to beat the grueling Texas summers. The theme for this 11th Annual edition of EAT THE HEAT is “SPICE OF LIFE “. . . Come Spice Up Your Night. This summer’s fun and progressive cocktail party will begin at Hilton Garden Inn. We then move to Max’s Wine Dive. Guests will be treated to specialty cocktails hors d’oeuvres, live entertainment and a grand finale at the Marriott Austin Downtown guaranteed to Rock the House!
Each year NACE selects a local charity to partner with for the “Eat the Heat” Fundraiser. This year’s proceeds will benefit THE SMILE NEVER FADES, a breast cancer charity based in Austin.
Support a great cause! Buy your tickets now, and get ready for an amazing culinary experience. Thursday, August 11, 2011.
Juan and Will traveled to Montreal to check out last week’s FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX DU CANADA 2011. Through a hookup with local rental companies Bravo Location Rentals and Fiesta Tents, they got a behind the scenes tour of the setup at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve.

It is always such a pleasure working with the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center. We had another chance last weekend helping them to create this year’s Wildflower Gala, an elegant, eco-friendly fund-raising event to showcase the Wildflower Center’s beautiful gardens and their leadership work in environmental sustainability through the use of native plants. Special guest Mrs. Laura Bush was honored for her contributions to conservation.
