There is nothing more than I love but, to attend an event hosted by The Austin Food & Wine Alliance. They always serve up the tastiest, well planned and most fun events! This was my first year at the Live Fire Event and it did not disappoint. The tickets were about $ 85.00 but well worth the price! Think of it as a non-traditional night out that you will walk away from with the meat and booze sweats! Who doesn’t love that? This is an event had every one of the best restaurants in Austin showing off their best take on meat! There was burgers, lamb skewers, tacos, pork belly, etc. coming out of all booths! The layout was perfectly planned because they had a couple food tents and then a couple drink booths. This allowed your stomach to digest while you sipped on wine, bourbon, vodka, etc. The Salt Lick Pecan Grove Pavilion was a great choice for this event and the weather was warm but, cooled off quickly! There wasn’t a shortage of parking or shady trees for you to take a break under. I also liked the second level that was behind the pavilion and hosted troughs of water, iced tea and lemonade to refresh yourself before you drove home! The pavilion had a very nice sound system and I loved the string lights they had in the trees! The sunset was beautiful behind the large trees! Some of the tents were crowded but, I also feel like the event goers moved in so many directions that you always had a tent to walk right up to and get served. I wish I could say that I tried every food and beverage vendor but, my stomach couldn’t handle it. Better to have more than enough though in my opinion. If you haven’t been to an Austin Food & Wine Alliance Event you really should because you are missing out on the true flavor of Austin!

I’ve been to Live Fire for three years in a row. And for three years it has exceeded expectations. It’s up there with La Dolce Vita in terms of the quality and caliber of chefs. A little smaller scale but imagine being outside at the Salt Lick on a near perfect night, sampling the best of Austin and sippin’ on fantastic wines and cocktails. The tickets are a little pricey — $ 80ish — but I promise it is well worth it. Make sure you’re there for every moment if you can. The best strategy is just keep moving. You’ll see 100 people you know there but it’s crucial to keep moving forward or you’ll get full or miss something. The chefs really do a great job of making sure they’ve got enough for everyone though and the Live Fire organizers are good about not overselling. Definitely one of my favorite signature events. It’s also great that it benefits the Austin food and wine alliance!
