If August in Central Texas just isn’t hot enough for you, you probably had a blast at the 24th annual Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival.

Thousands of people turned out to Fiesta Gardens on Sunday to enjoy live music and abuse their taste buds for a great cause. Your generosity and unyielding love of all things spicy helped us raise more than 39,000 meals and counting for Central Texans facing hunger.
