Win a Food-Themed Weekend At The W Austin in Texas!

We're teaming up with W Austin next week to host a Test Kitchen and Interview Lounge a day before the kickoff of the Austin Food & Wine Festival. We'll be chatting with our favorite food personalities—as well as other special guests—in the interview lounge, cranking out New American dishes in the kitchen at TRACE (where the W has loaned us more square footage than we've ever had for our Test Kitchens) and, as always, Instagramming every tasty morsel of it all.  

Besides letting us occupy their big open kitchen, W Austin is giving away a getaway package for 2 for a weekend of food, drink and fun in Austin, Texas. Subscribe to the Food Republic weekly newsletter by April 30 (those signed up for Food Republic Weekly are already entered) and you'll be entered to win. Pick your weekend and enjoy the ultimate food fan-cation at the hottest hotel in one of the coolest cities we know. Read details of what's included below the photos, and be sure and "like" the W Austin on Facebook and follow them on Twitter while you're at it:
