Glen Powell Scores Big With Fans At Tailgate In Austin
In Austin, it’s all about the tailgate. That’s why Hulu and Smash Kitchen turned a Walmart parking lot into the ultimate tailgate. To celebrate Glen Powell and his new series Chad Powers, they threw a full-on Texas-sized cookout, complete with wings, burger, and pizza, plus a special screening of Powell’s new Hulu series.

With TikTok-famous chef Nick DiGiovanni at his side, Powell served up the kind of game day food that makes you rethink everything you know about condiments. His company Smash Kitchen is, after all, all about the condiments.
People lined up for samples, photos and a chance to stand in the orbit of two guys who somehow make flipping wings look like movie magic.
Touching Down With Fans
The Top Gun: Maverick star didn’t just make an appearance. He took the time to smile and pose for selfies with almost every single person in that parking lot. And it didn’t feel like a PR stunt. The event felt like true Austin. Sure, it was focused on a new product launch but it was wrapped in community spirit, with a homegrown star at the center of it all.
Smash Kitchen may be about the sauce, but this event was all about heart. And though Powell may be on his way to superstardom, he’s also just a guy from Texas who still makes time for everyone.
