Anythings Baked Potato: First Anniversary Week

Mmmm, yeah – it's been a solid (although, now, increasingly weird) year for this bastion of spud-based, flavor-forward goodness, and they're celebrating with a bounty of specials and music and, oh, you know: It's a weeklong anniversary party! There's an R&B Night with a live DJ and hookahs (Thu., Aug. 20, 7pm-12mid), and an All White Party – come dressed in your showiest snow-colored gladrags – with live music and prizes (Sat., Aug. 22, 3pm-12mid), and we reckon there's even more to come.

The team behind acclaimed restaurant Emmer & Rye is partnering with local chefs to raise money for three community charities – Youth Rise Texas, The Tavel Bristol-Joseph Scholarship, and Southern Smoke.

Keep your eyes on @emmerandrye's Instagram: Each special menu item will be announced on the previous Tuesday.

The Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival

Of course the festival's still on! You didn't think we'd let some paltry, world-changing pandemic get in the way of our 30th year of celebrating local expressions of deliciously edible heat and supporting the Central Texas Food Bank, did you? Because, what do they say? "Now, more than ever," right? That's so true – and so your Chronicle is hosting a virtual event featuring winner announcements for commercial bottler categories, music, videos, and more. To experience this at home, you can purchase your very own Hot Sauce Tasting Kits – which include samplings from a variety of local bottlers and all-new Hot Sauce Festival merch – and generally prepare to let your capsaicin-loving freak flags fly.

Sun., Aug. 30, 1pm. Donations to Central Texas Food Bank heartily encouraged.
