FISH HOUSE PUNCH: THE COMPETITION The Taste Network presents the booze-forward battlers for the Texas edition of this "spirited competition," a culinary event that features Buffalo Trace Bourbon, bites from sustainable fisheries, and world-class wines. Each of the acclaimed barkeeps (Olamaie's Erin Ashford, Emmer & Rye's Randy Attwood, ACL Live's Aaron Kolitz, and Sarah Rahl of Austin Proper) will create a hand-crafted Fish House Punch to reintroduce one of the oldest surviving colonial American libations, score judges' votes, and help raise funds for culinary grant programs in Austin, Dallas, and Houston. Succulent seafood in an afternoon of punch-savvy drinkslinging at Downtown's celebrated Basque pinxto and cocktail bar? Mmmmm, sounds like a whole sustainable ocean of delight to us. Sun., June 6, 3-5:30pm. (2021) Kalimotxo, 607 W. Third #105, 512/333-0737. $50. texasfoodandwinealliance.org

RED BEANS AND RICELY YOURS, AUSTIN This community initiative, headed by Chris Cubas and Maris Clegg, is dedicated to providing free meals (of red beans and rice, andouille sausage, cornbread, fruit, dessert, and a drink) to Austinites in need. "On Tuesdays, we will provide a link to sign up for a free home-made meal delivered to you with safety in mind," goes their announcement on Facebook. "There is no judgment and the form is anonymous. If you have been affected by the impact of Covid-19 or are having a hard time, we would like to make a small portion of your day a little bit better." Or, if you'd like to donate your time in driving, baking treats, or providing cases of nonalcoholic beverages, please reach out to [email protected]. redbeansaustin.com
