Is it one of Houston’s red-hot chefs — or could it be YOU? Let’s find out! We’re leaning into August’s heat with our 2nd Annual Comin’ In Hot Pro-Am Hot Sauce Competition at Hope Farms, and things are about to get spicy.

Think Your Sauce Has What It Takes?

We’ve lined up eight of Houston’s boldest pros and amateurs who are ready to bring the fire — including last year’s champion, Tony Lurhman, who’s back to defend his title! There are just two spots left if you think your signature sauce can stand up to the reigning champ. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or an amateur hottie, this is your chance to claim bragging rights as the hottest in town.
