PULL UP >> We figured that when Southern Smoke Festival comes back, it’s gotta be with a Texas-sized blast. The H-Town Welcome Wagon hosted by Aaron Franklin (@franklinbbq) and our friends at @hotluckfest, pulls up Oct. 21 to Lott Hall (@lotthallhtx) at @hermannpark, uniting Houstonians and out-of-towners alike for a friendly get-together kicking off our kickass weekend. 💥 Here you’ll get delicious bites by some of the most decorated chefs in the country, including special appearances by Top Chef judge Gail Simmons(@gailsimmonseats) and Southern Smoke co-founder Chris Shepherd (@c_shepherd13). We’ll also have live music and Texas’ best wines, all to make the party complete. Tickets go on sale at noon CST Tuesday, Aug. 30 at southernsmoke.org/festival/ssf-2022. Proceeds from Southern Smoke Festival go to Southern Smoke Festival to support F+B workers in crisis nationwide. It’s one way we #TakeCareOfOurOwn. 🔥
