Our fearless leader Hot Luck co-founder Aaron Franklin has long admired his good friend Chris Shepherd’s important work for the betterment of the food and beverage industry via the non-profit organization and its annual Houston event, and the Hot Luck team is honored and excited to make this partnership official. In the year 2020 alone, Southern Smoke has donated over four million dollars to more than two hundred thousand folks in the culinary industry in need.

In the spirit of kicking off what we know will be a heartfelt and lasting collaboration, Hot Luck, with the fest's founding partner YETI's support, has made an initial donation to Southern Smoke.
