Live Fire!, Austin’s celebration of beef, returns with a dynamic lineup of award-winning chefs. This year, Live Fire! is celebrating global culinary traditions with a party showcasing open-flame cooking, premium wine and beer, and cocktail craftsmanship. Top-notch chefs from across the state will showcase the versatility of Texas beef in innovative bites cooked on-site.

Keeping with tradition, a lineup of nationally recognized chefs and statewide favorites will turn up the heat. Some of the nation's most recognized chefs will be fanning the flames, including beloved Top Chef finalists and several James Beard Award nominees.

Proceeds from the signature tasting event will help the Austin Food and Wine Alliance give back to the local culinary community through a vibrant grant program for chefs, farmers, artisan producers, and nonprofits by funding projects focused on culinary innovation.
