ABOUT EAT THE HEAT !

EAT THE HEAT is the Nationally Recognized and Award Winning annual fundraiser hosted by the Austin Chapter of NACE, the National Association of Catering and Events. Each year NACE-Austin partners with a local charity and produces an event that showcases Austin's finest culinary talent and their favorite ways to beat the grueling Texas summers. The summer's fun  event is a progressive cocktail party that moves through downtowns hottest bars/event venus  as guests are treated to specialty cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, live entertainment with a grand finale featuring a Chef's Showcase and Silent Auction!

 ABOUT THE AUSTIN CHAPTER OF NACE

ABOUT THE FOUNDATION OF NACE

In 1985, NACE created the Foundation of NACE to further the association's positive impact in educating future catering professionals at the university level. The Foundation awards grants to established catering courses and degree programs in college curricula. Recent recipients of NACE Foundation grants are Florida International University, University of Nevada at Las Vegas and Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management at the University of Houston. Through the Foundation, NACE is helping universities and colleges recognize the importance of culinary degrees.
