Al Fuego is Hot Luck’s main event: a live-action, flame-fueled celebration of open-air cooking styles — from Texas to Thailand. We coax the chefs to kick it casual (not that hard) and cook what they might for friends in their own backyards. We set them up with the best meats, the coldest beer, and Aaron Franklin might even build them a specialty cooker. It’s the entire reason Hot Luck exists: To celebrate the fare rarely seen at large events: the obsessively prepared, passionately executed, inspiring food that chefs love to eat.
